Black Master has a dark red, brownish-purple skin, often with greenish shoulders near the stem. Its fleshy, beefsteak-type fruit is juicy and has a distinctive flavor, described by collectors as having a slight smoky note. This is a tomato that works well in a simple salad, where few other ingredients allow its character to shine through.
The fruits are sometimes rounded or slightly flattened, with ribbing on the upper part. In store photos, you can clearly see the contrast between the dark skin, the red flesh, and the greenish gel around the seeds. It’s worth showcasing this appearance by serving the tomatoes in thick slices.
The plant grows tall and requires a stake or string. Harvesting should take place during the middle and later parts of the season. Consistent watering helps minimize fruit cracking. For comparison, the ‘Lila Sari’ is a suitable dark variety with similar uses.
