Jaune Flamme tomato, Solanum lycopersicum
The Jaune Flamme is a small round tomato, roughly the size of a golf ball, weighing an average of three ounces. It has thick yellowish-orange skin, with a rich and meaty interior flesh that is mottled with red streaks. Its flavor is citrusy and fruity when raw, and is further intensified when the tomato is roasted or slowly dried. The disease and crack resistant Jaune Flamme tomato plant is an early and prolific producer, yielding ample crops of the persimmon-colored fruits on elongated trusses. With their vibrant coloring, Jaune Flamme tomatoes appear to glow on the vine against the backdrop of the plant’s dark green foliage.
