Brandywine Red is a big, meaty Tomato with a mild, sweet, nonacidic flavor that many people rate as simply the best. And that flavor is what prompted home gardeners to save seeds of it for the past 100 years, even though the fruits occasionally develop some cracking. This hefty, beefsteak-type Tomato ripens to a pinkish red and is best for fresh eating.
