A favorite for chefs and growers for its tangy flavor, firm texture, and extraordinary shelf life. A crispy-ripe tomato with tremendous culinary potential, Green Bee has appeared on menus in the San Francisco Bay Area in a variety of dishes. Very firm texture is ideal for grilling and roasting, but Green Bee can also be used for pickling, gazpacho, salsa fresca... you name it! A great choice for eaters who do not typically like fresh tomatoes, as the "tomatoey" flavors are muted in this variety. When left on the vine, it can even develop hints of stone fruit flavor. Fruits avg. 25–30 gm. Best picked when skin develops a clear yellow-orange hue, or later, because fruit can hold for a long time on the vine without cracking or softening. Can be stored for a few weeks at room temperature or 2–3 months at 55°. Bred by Dr. Fred Hempel of Artisan Seeds. Indeterminate.
