Great taste, good size, virtually blemish free and very meaty with small seed cavities. I have limited sun (5 hours) and Dafel performed well. I gave 3 stars for yield, but this is probably due to my sunlight problem. |

My wife and I don't much care for sweet tomatoes and this is a perfect example of a non-sweet tomato. It is a medium sized, high acid, firm, with a wonderful flavor. Warning! Don't put salt on this tomato, the combination of high acid and the salt sets off taste buds like you wouldn't believe. |
