Often starting around 300g (10.5 oz) and going up. They are incredibly meaty with very few seeds.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Culinary Use:<\/strong> Classic, good tomato flavor. This is strictly a fresh-eating slicer. <strong>Note:<\/strong> It has a very short shelf life and softens up rapidly once ripe, so it is not a keeper!<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Mid-season.
