\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Negro de Silex<\/strong> (Negro de Siles) is a rare Spanish heirloom originating from the mountain village of Siles in Ja\u00e9n, Andalusia<\/strong>. It is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> beefsteak producing oblate, heavily ribbed dusky fruits weighing 3.5-17.5 oz (100-500 g) with plump shoulders and a faint anthocyanin blush. Growers praise it for its repeatable, heavy production and a clean, mild, sweet-tart flavor lacking the intense muskiness of common black tomatoes. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

A variety of Spanish origin, hailing from the town of Siles in the Sierra de Segura mountains, Jaen province, Andalusia.<\/p>\n

Fruits range anywhere from 3.5 to 17.5 oz (100 to 500 g). Flattened beefsteak shape with wide, deep ribbing on top and plump, puffy shoulders showing a light touch of anthocyanin.<\/p>\n

Flavor is good, though milder and less pungent than most standard “black” varieties. Big shoutout to Rayechka for the seeds. Really loved this one!<\/p>\n
