BEEFSTEAK
TOMATOES/ GORAKA THAKKALI
This spectacular
scalloped tomato was found in the dry mountains of Mexico, where it's grown by
the Zapotec Indians. It's sweet tasting, very ornamental, and it loves dry
heat. Heavy yields of sweet ½-pound fruits grow on sturdy vines that love the
desert.
Botanical name: Lycopersicon
esculentum

The term first
appeared in an 1869 seed catalog, describing slices of a specialty tomato as
being “as solid and meaty as a beefsteak.” Beefsteak varieties have small seed
cavities and a preponderance of flesh, making them easy to slice and perfect
on.
Propagation

glass at 15-20C from late winter to mid-spring. Transplant seedlings when they
have two true leaves and grow at 15C. Select seedlings that are dark green and
sturdy. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed.

Benefits
of Beefsteak Tomatoes

vitamins like lycopene, potassium, and vitamins C, A, and E. Lycopene is back
because it is not only good for fighting osteoporosis but also reduces
low-density cholesterol (LDL) in your arteries.
