Paste Type Tomato Plants
Jersey Devil
RED
Once very popular, now getting attention again, Jersey Devil is unique. I guess you would classify it as a paste type only cooler! About 6 inches long, the fruit will be pointed, plump and almost twisted! Thick fleshed, they are perfect for those of you who like to make sauce and can up a load or two. Very productive and vigorous plant. Great flavor makes them wonderful for fresh eating too!

Opalka
RED
Another one from Poland- in fact, its synonym is "Polish Torpedo" which I kind of like lol. Anyway, Opalka is technically a paste type fruit but the flavor is so good you can use it any way you like. Can it, dice it, slice it...its all good. These fruit are longer than a typical Roma type, around 5, sometime 6 inches. You will notice the plants have a peculiar wispy type foliage. I have encountered this type foliage on a handful of other varieties we grow. Kind of unusual.

Rio Grande
RED
Oval paste type tomato, Rio is similar to Roma except larger and better flavored. If you like Roma, try Rio as your main crop for processing- it out produces Roma hands down. You might like it much better! Quite good as a fresh tomato too. Because Rio is simply so much better than Roma, you might make this your main crop caner if you prefer paste style Tomatoes.

Roma
RED
You all know Roma, the tried and true canning and sauce tomato. I actually like them in a salad since they are rather low in juice. Roma is a true determinate- sets all it fruit at once. No waiting around to get enough to process. It comes on all at once.

Speckled Roman
RED WITH ORANGE STRIPING
Speckled Roman is a heavy bearing, richly flavored Roma style tomato that also happens to be quite unique in appearance. Thin, wavy orange stripes! This is a modern variety that shows just how much great breeding work is being done. This one is currently on my top-ten list of cool. Why be just plain 'ol red?!?

Ten Fingers of Naples
RED
This is a terrific paste type that has impressed us quite a bit. Setting clusters of 3oz. fruit about 4 inches long, it makes Roma look like a weakling. It has more substance than Roma too, giving sauce more body with less cooking down. Flavor is good for fresh eating too! Production and growth are outstanding.
