San Marzano tomatoes are a prized variety of plum tomatoes known for their sweet flavor, low acidity, and meaty texture. They are elongated and have a thick flesh with fewer seeds, making them ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning. San Marzano tomatoes are popular in Italian cuisine, especially for making rich and flavorful pasta sauces, soups, and pizzas.

Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start tomato seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing tomato seeds, plant them about 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space them 15 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and good air circulation.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest tomatoes wait until they reach their mature color and have a firm texture. Gently twist or cut the stem using pruning shears. For vine-ripened flavor, allow tomatoes to fully ripen on the plant. Regularly pick ripe tomatoes to encourage more fruit production.
