<h2><strong>COSTOLUTO PACHINO - Sicilian Heirloom Tomato Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Costoluto Pachino is bigger than a cherry tomato with a superb gourmet flavor to die for, and is served up in selected eating houses and cafes. It is named after the main town in Sicily where it was first bred.</p> <p>Our original seeds were a gift from a good friend who lives in Sicily and our seed plants were grown in a greenhouse to avoid the possibility of crosses.</p> <p>Pachino tomatoes have been grown since the 1920s in the coastal area of Pachino and neighboring territories. Initialy, the tomato crops had to fight for space with the grape vines. Since the 1950s, the tomato crops have spread and expanded.</p> <p>The main characteristic of Pachino tomatoes is that the plant produces fruit 15 to 20 days prior to the other varieties. This has to do with the climate and especially the temperature and isolation of the plants in this area. Today, the tomatoes are cultivated in covered tunnels (that are uncovered during the summer) to avoid drastic changes in temperature that have cause entire crops to be wiped out. The coverage also helps to temper the night and day temperatures.</p> <p>This variety of tomato is known for its distinctive characteristics that are caused by the costal microclimate and salinity of the water used to irrigate the plants. There are three types of Pachino cultivars: round and smooth, costoluto, and ciliegino or cherry. The cherry tomato grows in bunches and is bright red. The other two are usually bright green, although the smooth can also be red. Pachino tomatoes have a sweet taste, good consistency and durability. Their skin is smooth and shiny.</p> <p>The tomato plants grow vertically with one or two productive branches. They are irrigated with ground water from specific wells according to the production guidelines. The water has a salt content of 1,500 to 10,000 ms. The tomatoes are picked by hand when the fruit becomes ripe, about 3 to 4 days after the beginning of the plant’s productive cycle.</p> <p>Pachino tomatoes should be eaten raw in salads, or used in pastas, pizzas or vegetable soups. In Sicily, tomatoes are dried in the sun or conserved in oil. The dried tomatoes make great bruschette and tartines. They can be used in pastas, with boiled meats or to flavor sauces.</p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tomato Seeds RIO GRANDE</span></em></strong></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 seeds.  </strong></span></h3> <p>Rio Grande comes from the Italian strain of paste tomatoes. The University of California developed this variety to thrive in hot, humid weather; the USDA received the final product in 1994. Gardeners in southern regions appreciate this excellent tomato as one of the best paste tomatoes available for hot climates.</p> <p>Fruit weight: 80-90 g.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Rio Grande Tomato Germination:</strong> Start tomatoes indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4" deep and 1" apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. When the second set of leaves emerges, transplant the seedlings into individual pots; bury the stems up to the lowest set of leaves to grow strongly rooted plants. A week before planting the seedlings outside, begin exposing them to the weather during the day to harden them; tomatoes cannot endure cold weather, and should not be transplanted outside until all threat of frost has passed. When the soil temperature reaches at least 70 degrees F, plant the seedlings in full sun and very rich soil; once more, bury the entire stem up to the lowest set of leaves. Space the plants 2' apart. For companion planting benefits, plant tomatoes with carrots or onions, but avoid planting them with cabbage or tomatoes.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Growing Rio Grande Tomato Seeds:</strong> Since temperatures below 55 degrees F can damage production, protect the plants if temperatures drop. A thick layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds; water the plants once a week, but avoid getting the leaves wet. Determinate, or bush type tomatoes, do not require staking.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Harvesting Rio Grande Tomato:</strong> Test the ripeness of tomatoes by pressing them gently; the flesh should yield slightly. The mature color also indicates ripeness. If the stem does not come easily off the vine, cut it with a scissors. Vine ripened tomatoes have the best flavor, but as soon as frost comes, all tomatoes should be harvested, even the green ones. Unripe tomatoes will ripen eventually if kept in a warm place out of direct sunlight.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Saving Rio Grande Tomato Seeds:</strong> Since cross pollination between most tomato varieties is unlikely, isolation is not a concern. Pick fully ripe tomatoes and cut them in half horizontally, across the middle; squeeze out the pulp into a container. An alternative method for smaller tomatoes is to put them in a blender and pulse the mixture, since the seeds are hard and slippery and will not be harmed. Let the mixture ferment for several days or until a thick layer of mold has formed; this process removes the gelatinous layer on the seeds. Pour off the mold and debris, saving the good seeds on the bottom. Rinse the seeds in a strainer under running water until they are clean, then spread them out to dry in a protected location away from direct sunlight. Stir them twice a day, and provide a fan to speed drying if the air is humid. Once the seeds are completely dry, store them in a cool, dry location for up to four years.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Detailed Rio Grande Tomato Info:</strong> Lycopersicon esculentum. Also known as Roma Rio Grande. Annual. 70-80 days. 10,000 seeds per oz. 48-72" height. 30-36" spacing. Produces elongated or pear shaped red tomatoes that average 8-12 oz. Determinate.</p> <p> </p>

<h2><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Heirloom RED PEAR PIRIFORM Tomato Seeds</span></em></strong></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 seeds.  </strong></span></h3> <p>The Red Pear Piriform tomato is medium sized, approximately seven to nine ounces, with overall reddish-orange colored skin that fades into green on the shoulders. As its name alludes, it is pear-shaped with slightly indented lobes. It has a meaty, juicy texture and sweet, rich flavors with moderate acid levels. The tomato plant is an indeterminate, also known as a climbing or vining variety, meaning that the fruit ripens over an extended period along sprawling vines, which is why they are often recommended for trellising or caging.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Current Facts</strong></p> <p>The Red Pear Piriform is an heirloom variety of Solanum lycopersicum, belonging to the nightshade family alongside the potato and eggplant. The word “piriform” in the name refers to this tomato’s curious lobed pear shape. All heirloom tomato cultivars, like the Red Pear Piriform, are open-pollinated, meaning that seeds from the variety will produce offspring that are identical to the parent. With a little care to prevent cross-pollination, seeds can be saved that will produce identical tomatoes year after year.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nutritional Value</strong></p> <p>Tomatoes are widely known for their antioxidant content, including their rich concentration of lycopene, which has been linked to the prevention of certain types of cancer. Tomatoes also contain a great deal of vitamin A and vitamin C, and are a good source of calcium and iron.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Applications</strong></p> <p>The Red Pear Piriform tomato is known for its old-fashioned, sweet tomato flavor. It is a slicer or salad type tomato that is perfect for fresh eating. Simply drizzle with olive oil and a touch of salt, or pair with savory herbs and spices, such as basil, cilantro, chives, dill, garlic, paprika, pepper, rosemary, oregano, parsley, thyme, fennel, and tarragon. Store at room temperature for two to three days away from direct sunlight until ready to use. Refrigerate only extra-ripe tomatoes to slow the process of decay.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ethnic/Cultural Info</strong></p> <p>In 1544, Italian herbalist Pietro Andrea Mattioli referred to the tomato as “pomi d’oro,” meaning “golden fruits” in vernacular Italian. This is the first time that the tomato was named in print in Europe. The tomato is still called “pomodoro” in Italian today.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Geography/History</strong></p> <p>The Red Pear Piriform is an old North Italian heirloom, and is native to Liguria, Piedmonte, and Abruzzo, Italy. Tomatoes are not hardy cultivars, which is why temperature is an important factor in the production of tomatoes. They are particularly sensitive to low night temperatures and cannot stand any frost, so take care to plant them only after the final frost of the season.</p> <p> </p>

<h2 class=""><strong>Rossa di Treviso Chicory Seeds</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 50 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Treviso is a mild variety of radicchio that ranges in size from a small Belgian endive to a large head of Romaine lettuce. Its elongated leaves are deep purple to red with white ribs and overlap one another tightly to form a compact bunch that is similar in shape to Belgian endive. Treviso's crisp, sturdy leaves offer an earthy, bitter edge much milder in flavor than the more mature Treviso Tardivo. Cooking will also further mellow the bitter flavor of Treviso.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Seasons/Availability</strong></p> <p>Treviso is available in the fall and throughout the early spring months.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Current Facts</strong></p> <p>Treviso, botanically a member of Cichorium intybus, is a subspecies of chicory. Also known as radicchio Rosso de Treviso it is a member of the Composite or Asteraceae family. There are two types of radicchio from the Treviso region, a late harvest known as Tardivo and early harvest known as Precoce. Both varieties are protected by the IGP (indicazione geografica protetta) or Protected Geographical Indication certification. The high quality and characteristics of IGP products can be traced back to a specific geographical region.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nutritional Value</strong></p> <p>The bitter flavor of radicchios such as Treviso is a result of its intybin content, a compound which has been shown to aid in digestion, appetite stimulation and as a purifying agent for the liver and blood.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Applications</strong></p> <p>Treviso, like other bitter chicory greens, can be served fresh or cooked. It can be sautéed, grilled, blanched or slow coked into soups, sauces and risottos. Its leaves are sturdy enough to hold up to heat and can be used as an edible serving cup or as part of a bed for grilled vegetables and meats. Its flavor pairs well with cream based sauces and dressings, parmesan cheese, lemon, orange, olive oil, sausage, prosciutto and anchovies. Treviso will keep, refrigerated, for one to two weeks.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ethnic/Cultural Info</strong></p> <p>Radicchio Rosso de Treviso has its very own consortium of 140 members known as Consorzio Radicchio di Treviso in Italy whose goal is to educate the public about Treviso as well as protect and uphold its quality and market it.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Geography/History</strong></p> <p>Like other varieties of chicory such as Chioggia, Verona and Castelfranco radicchio Treviso is native to the northern Italian region of Veneto, specifically it is from the town it owes its namesake to, Treviso. A registered IGP product, all true radicchio Rosso de Treviso marketed under that name must be grown within the region of Veneto in Treviso, Venice or Padua. Unlike radicchio Treviso di Tardivo which undergoes a second forced growth and lengthy manufacturing process Treviso Precoce is harvested young, cleaned and sent directly to the market. Authentic Treviso can be found in Italy as well as in Europe and in the United States at specialty markets.</p> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
