The tomato 'Tomaccio' originated in Israel, the result of a 12 year breeding program using wild Peruvian tomato species. This intense breeding program resulted in the world's finest, sweetest snack tomato. The 'Tomaccio' may be consumed either fresh or dried.

The gourmet quality snack tomato, referred to as the 'Sweet Raisin Tomato' is grown for its high sugar content. The fruit's sweetness intensifies when dried. the tomato was bred to dry naturally in clusters cut off the vine. To accelarate the drying process, tomatoes may be placed in a 100 degree F. oven for about 3 hours. The sweet dry delicacy may be snacked on like other dried fruit. Or used as ingredients in salads, omelets, pasta, kabobs, tarts, and appetizers.

The vigorous vining plants may be grown in large patio containers or directly in the ground like other tomatoes. With an expected height of 12 to 14 feet, the 'Tomaccio' requires support. Once flowering begins, plants must be gently fastened to a support with cloth or twine ties. Pinching suckers to maintain one central main stem is important for plant health and high fruit production. Early harvesting is recommended.
