It is not overly sweet, but has an excellent balance of sugar and acid. I chose the name \u201cPrime Rib,\u201d because the thick meaty slices reminded me of excellent quality aged beef from a fancy steak restaurant. Not the wimpy fake pinkish red of supermarket steaks, but the real dark brownish red of aged beef with complex flavors.<br \/>\nThis cross came about in 2013, when I tried to find a tomato variety of any color but red, that could be grown in the ground in my challenging climate and under a large insect\/disease load. I did not find one. So, I made a cross of a disease-resistant red salad hybrid, BHN 669 F1, to a delicious and renowned purple beefsteak, Black from Tula. The cross was successful, and several segregates were pursued.<br \/>\nI highly recommend Prime Rib to anyone who struggles to grow heirloom tomatoes in a hot, humid climate and who loves intensely flavored slab o\u2019mater on sandwiches and other fresh eating applications.<br \/>\nMy photo of the sliced fruit shows it at not fully ripe. You can see the greenish cast to the gel. I think I have a better photo from this season to post as soon as I have the time.<br \/>\n<em>One packet per order please!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5647,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,31,100,107,40,97,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5646","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-brown","product_cat-beefsteak","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds-original-creation","product_cat-ellies-wow-varieties","product_cat-heat-set-tomatoes","product_cat-special-humidity-and-heat-tolerant-collection","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","first","outofstock","sold-individually","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5646"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5646"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
