10+ Organically Grown Seeds – Bacon, Lettuce & This Tomato
If there was ever a tomato bred specifically for the perfect sandwich, Bacon, Lettuce & This Tomato would be it.
This indeterminate, potato leaf variety produces vigorous plants that continue growing and setting fruit throughout the season. While it tends to mature in the mid-to-late season, gardeners consistently find the wait worthwhile thanks to its impressive yields and exceptional eating quality. Plants benefit from sturdy staking or caging to support the weight of the large fruits.
The fruits are classic beefsteak tomatoes with a round to slightly flattened shape and gentle ribbing around the shoulders. Most tomatoes weigh between 200–500 grams, providing thick, meaty slices that are ideal for sandwiches and fresh eating. The fruit ripens to a rich, deep red color, occasionally displaying subtle golden or green highlights that add to its visual appeal.
Flavor is where Bacon, Lettuce & This Tomato truly shines. Expect a bold, old-fashioned tomato taste with excellent sweetness balanced by deep umami richness. The flesh is smooth, dense, juicy, and meaty, delivering the kind of texture tomato lovers search for but rarely find.
As the name suggests, this variety excels in the classic BLT. Thick slices hold their shape beautifully and provide the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity alongside crispy bacon and fresh lettuce. Beyond sandwiches, the meaty flesh performs exceptionally well when grilled, roasted, pan-fried, or served fresh in salads and caprese dishes.
Whether you’re a sandwich enthusiast, a collector of unique breeding work, or simply searching for a tomato with outstanding flavor and substance, Bacon, Lettuce & This Tomato is a variety that consistently earns a place in the garden year after year.
