Tomato Seeds - Indeterminate - Gold Medal Beefsteak
Description
The Gold Medal Tomato is a show-stopping indeterminate heirloom celebrated for its massive size, stunning coloration, and sweet, low-acid flavor. Maturing in about 85–90 days, this variety produces enormous 1–2 pound beefsteaks with radiant yellow skin marbled through with red and pink streaks, creating a natural tie-dye effect both inside and out.
Fruits are rich, fruity, and smooth, with a pronounced sweetness and very mild acidity that makes them perfect for fresh slicing and presentation. The texture is dense and velvety, with few seeds and minimal gel, ensuring thick, meaty slices ideal for sandwiches, salads, or caprese platters.
Plants are vigorous and long-bearing, often reaching 6–8 feet tall, requiring strong staking or cages to support heavy yields. They thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, benefiting from consistent deep watering and mulching to maintain soil moisture and prevent cracking.
First introduced by Ben Quisenberry of Ohio, a legendary seed saver known for preserving flavor-rich varieties, the Gold Medal Beefsteak Tomato remains one of the most beautiful and best-tasting heirlooms ever grown—a true garden centerpiece that delivers color, flavor, and abundance in equal measure.
