Organic Pelati / San Marzano Tomato Seeds

Description: The "Pelati / San Marzano" is the undisputed queen of Italian sauce tomatoes. This time-honored heirloom variety is world-famous for its elongated shape, meaty texture, and exceptionally low seed count. It is the essential base for authentic Neapolitan pizza sauce and premium homemade tomato sauce. Thanks to its thin skin, it is incredibly easy to peel after a quick blanching, and its flavor reaches its full, savory potential when cooked into a rich tomato purée.

• Character: A legendary seed-stable specialty, essential for authentic Mediterranean cooking.

• Fruit: Elongated, deep red plum tomatoes with dense flesh and minimal juice.

• Quality: Organic quality, high-yielding, and perfect for preserving crop diversity.

Sowing and Cultivation: Sow from March on a windowsill or in a greenhouse. Place seeds 0.5–1 cm deep and keep moist at 18–20°C. Once the first true leaves appear after the cotyledons, prick out into individual pots. Move outdoors only after the last frost (Ice Saints). Requires stable support due to its vigorous growth.
