Rock n’ Roll fruit of the week: Black Krim Tomato
Rule #1 at the Cracked Pot: any plant, flower, fruit or vegetable that’s black is definitely Rock n’ Roll, and earns a place in the weekly Rock n’ Roll Gardening Hall of Fame.
This week’s winner is the Black Krim Tomato.
This variety is somewhat rare, but becoming increasingly popular with gardeners in Vancouver. It looks like raw meat when you slice it open, and comes from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea off the coast of the Crimean peninsula in Russia. Did you catch that?
Not only is this tomato black, but it also comes from the Black Sea. Sweet.
This tomato is known as “Czerno Krimski” (Black Krim) in Russian, which sounds super cool if you slur like you’ve had too much vodka. Or maybe you have? If not, maybe you should.
