514. CARO RICH 
The Caro Rich tomato is an indeterminate variety developed in 1973 by E.C. Tigchelaar and M.L. Tomes at Purdue University. This heirloom produces deep golden-orange, round fruits weighing approximately 10 to 12 ounces. Notably, Caro Rich contains ten times more beta-carotene than most other tomatoes, offering a rich source of vitamin A. The fruits have a sweet, low-acid flavor, making them excellent for salads and garnishes. The plants are prolific, yielding smooth, crack-resistant fruits that mature in about 77 to 80 days from transplanting. Due to their indeterminate growth habit, staking or caging is recommended to support the continuous production throughout the season.
