This vigorous plant is literally laden with numerous clusters of these lovely little tomatoes. The fruits are plum-shaped, pinkish-red in color, and no longer than 4 cm. They stand out for their rich flavor, thin skin, and high yield. They’re perfect as a snack, in salads, and for preserves. The fruits reach maturity after about 70 days.
Baselbieter Röteli is a regional variety associated with the Swiss canton of Basel-Landschaft, commonly known as Baselbiet. It is preserved through ProSpecieRara, an organization dedicated to preserving the diversity of heirloom crops. It’s best to let the small, elongated fruits ripen fully, as that’s when their flavor is at its best.
