These tomatoes have what I call a true tomato flavor. We enjoy growing heirlooms for their flavor and Black Krim always wins our taste tests. Early for our North Idaho cool summer nights and very abundant yields. Black Krim Tomatoes are not very pretty tomatoes, skin at top cracks, dusty rose color with green on top when ripe ( we have to squeeze them to see if they are soft and ready), and some are mis- shaped but you’ll love them when you taste them!
