In the recent California Spring Trials a new variety of tomato was unveiled. The newly developed ‘Tomaccio’ tomato plant is cultivated just like any other tomato and can be grown in the garden outdoors or in large pots. It is a handsome plant that grows small tomatoes that can be eaten like any other fresh tomato. But what makes the ‘Tomaccio’ plant unique is that you can allow those tomatoes to dry right on the vine. These plants grow easy home dried tomatoes without any special efforts. Wait until the sun dries them right on the vine.
The dried tomatoes on the ‘Tomaccio’ plant can be cropped and used in cooking, salads, or nibbled on as a snack. These home dried tomatoes are both easy to grow, dry and use. They have a very sweet flavor and make an excellent sauce or dip for an appetizer. Try growing this new variety of tomato for something new and different in your vegetable garden.
