440. LUCID GEM
The Lucid Gem tomato is a visually striking variety developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. This indeterminate plant produces medium-sized, beefsteak-type fruits, typically weighing between 4 to 5 ounces (approximately 120 to 150 grams). The tomatoes ripen from yellow to a deep orange hue, adorned with dark anthocyanin-rich shoulders that provide a dramatic contrast. Inside, the flesh is marbled with shades of yellow and red, offering a sweet, fruity flavor with a meaty texture and minimal seeds. Notably, Lucid Gem exhibits excellent heat tolerance and has a prolonged shelf life, maintaining its quality both on the vine and post-harvest. Its unique appearance and delightful taste make it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike.
