Growing Chef's™ Choice Black Hybrid Slicing VFT Tomato
Chef's™ Choice Black Hybrid Tomato Seeds produce rich, large fruits that mature to a deep, blackish red, offering a distinctive color and taste that’s made “black tomatoes” a sought-after trend among gardeners and chefs alike. This variety delivers a subtle, refreshing hint of saltiness balanced by classic tomato sweetness, creating a unique and complex flavor that stands out in salads, sandwiches, and sauces.
Maturing in about 75 days, the indeterminate vines grow strong and productive in full sun, yielding 8–10 ounce fruits with a smooth, meaty texture and beautiful sheen. Excellent disease resistance to Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus ensures healthier plants and reliable harvests throughout the season.
As a 2019 AAS Winner, Chef's™ Choice Black Hybrid combines garden performance with gourmet quality, making it an exceptional choice for growers who appreciate both novelty and flavor in their tomato patch.

All my Chef Choice tomatoes this year did not grow as expected. The Yellow, Black, and Orange all grew as random red tomatoes.

These do not look anything like Chefs Black Choice. Nice tasty tomato but definitely not what I was expecting. I think someone messed up the seeds.
