Tomato - Hillbilly
Hillbilly tomatoes, also known as the Flame tomato, are large heat-tolerant beefsteak fruits weighing up to two pounds. They feature a striking yellow skin with some red marbling and a dense, peach-like interior. Known for their exceptionally sweet, low-acid flavor with hints of apricot, these high-yielding vines thrive in summer and fall, reaching heights of up to ten feet.
Beyond their unique taste, these tomatoes are a nutritional powerhouse rich in Vitamins A, B, and C. Their high potassium and fiber content support heart health by helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Additionally, they contain high levels of lycopene, an antioxidant found in the National Institutes of Health research to help reduce the risk of certain cancers. These qualities make the Hillbilly tomato as beneficial for your health as it is flavorful for your kitchen.
