\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Opacos de Moreira<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong>, potato-leaf<\/strong> Spanish heirloom originating from Moreira in northwestern Spain<\/strong>. It produces heavy crops of uniform 10.5 oz (300 g) beefsteaks that shift colors like a chameleon from bronze to dusky purple-pink, covered in distinctive golden-freckled speckles. The interior features a sweet, luscious watermelon-marmalade texture, though plants benefit from supplementary potassium to prevent persistent green shoulders under glass.

Seeds of this variety came from Sofia. Originally hails from Spain, the name translates roughly to Opaque of Moreira. Plant grew on the south side of the greenhouse in a side bed. Sturdy, gorgeous vine with broad potato leaves. Incredibly productive in my setup.<\/p>\n

Fruit hung from bottom to top all the way up the vine, all remarkably uniform beefsteaks. As they ripened, they truly acted like chameleons shifting colors. I still couldn’t tell if it’s technically a black tomato or something else entirely!<\/p>\n

What really sets this one apart is the tiny speckles and freckles all over the skin. Inexperienced growers might think it’s some kind of defect, but that’s just how this variety rolls. Sliced open, it’s a stunner too. The flavor is out of this world, wonderfully sweet and mellow. The flesh has a jammy, watermelon-marmalade texture with an indescribably rich color.<\/p>\n

Weight runs right around 10.5 oz (300 g). The only drawback was greenish shoulders, so make sure to supplement with potassium feed.<\/p>\n
