What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Discover one of the most distinctive heirlooms with Black Krim Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Originating from the Crimean Peninsula, this indeterminate variety produces large beefsteak-style tomatoes with striking dark purple to brown coloration. Known for its full-bodied, complex flavor with subtle smoky and salty notes, Black Krim is a favorite of chefs and home gardeners seeking exceptional taste and beautiful presentation.

Deep Color, Bold Flavor, and Summer Reliability:
Black Krim tomatoes develop rich, dark tones as they ripen, often accented with green shoulders that deepen in the heat. The juicy, meaty interior offers a savory, almost briny character that sets it apart from typical red tomatoes. Whether sliced thick for summer sandwiches or showcased in fresh dishes, these tomatoes deliver standout flavor every time.

Why Customers Love Black Krim Tomatoes:

  • Large dark-pink to purple-brown beefsteak fruits
  • Complex, rich flavor with subtle smoky and salty notes
  • Indeterminate vines that produce throughout the season
  • Striking coloration ideal for fresh slicing and culinary presentation
  • A beloved heirloom valued for reliability and exceptional taste

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost date. Transplant into full sun once temperatures are consistently warm, providing sturdy support for the vigorous indeterminate vines. Grow in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and water deeply to maintain steady moisture, which helps prevent cracking and supports flavor development. Black Krim performs well in warm climates and appreciates consistent care.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest when fruits reach their deep purple-brown tone and feel slightly soft when gently pressed. Black Krim shines when sliced fresh, added to salads, or used in simple preparations that highlight its bold flavor. Its meaty texture also pairs well with grilled dishes and summer recipes.
