| Nice texture, small seed cavity. Taste was bland, but might seem good if you\\\'re just used to supermarket tomatoes. |

| These small cherry tomatoes were certainly prolific and attractive. They are thin-skinned and have a flavor that works best when eaten raw. Better than the yellow pear tomatoes (I agree those are worthless). They occupy the niche of the \'old-fashioned\' cherry tomato (not the modern sweet ones). I would grow them again as one of two or three cherry tomatoes, as I prefer the less-sweet kind. But they were not outstanding in any way. |
