Amish Paste Tomato is one of the world's most popular heirloom paste varieties, treasured for its exceptionally large, meaty fruits and outstanding cooking qualities. Originally preserved by Amish communities, this classic variety produces smooth, deep red tomatoes with a distinctive plum to oxheart shape.
The fruits have thick walls, very few seeds, and dense, flavorful flesh with a rich, well-balanced sweetness. Their low moisture content makes them ideal for homemade pasta sauces, ketchup, tomato paste, soups, canning, and other traditional recipes. Despite being a paste tomato, Amish Paste is also delicious when enjoyed fresh in salads and sandwiches.
