JUANE FLAMME TOMATO SEEDS

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Jaune Flammée Tomato

Some tomatoes practically glow on the vine, and Jaune Flammée is one of them. This exceptional French heirloom produces clusters of brilliant apricot-orange tomatoes with a flavor as vibrant as their appearance. Sweet, tangy, juicy, and wonderfully aromatic, Jaune Flammée proves that extraordinary tomato flavor doesn’t require an enormous beefsteak.

The name translates to Yellow Flame, an appropriate description for these luminous little fruits. The variety is associated with French tomato preservationist Norbert Perreira and was introduced commercially in the United States by Tomato Growers Supply Company in 1997. Its unusual coloring and outstanding flavor have since earned it a devoted following among heirloom tomato enthusiasts.

The flavor is where Jaune Flammée really shines. Each small, round tomato delivers an exciting combination of fruity sweetness and bright acidity, with citrus-like notes that distinguish it from many milder yellow and orange varieties. The flesh is exceptionally juicy, with a beautiful orange interior that can develop reddish tones near the center when fully ripe.

Fruits typically weigh 2–4 ounces, making them larger than most cherry tomatoes but smaller than traditional slicers. They develop in generous clusters on vigorous, indeterminate plants with regular-leaf foliage. The plants are known for their impressive productivity and benefit from sturdy staking or trellising.

Jaune Flammée is equally at home in the kitchen. Its bold flavor makes it a wonderful fresh-eating tomato, particularly in salads and colorful tomato platters. Roasting or slow-drying concentrates its natural sweetness and acidity, creating intensely flavorful tomatoes that retain their beautiful orange coloring.

With maturity generally around 70–80 days from transplanting, this French favorite offers a wonderful combination of garden productivity, culinary versatility, and exceptional taste.
