Auriga Tomato Seeds

$4.00

The “Auriga” tomato, sometimes also referred to as “Aurega,” is a Russian Heirloom. It’s known for its productivity and the zesty, explosive taste of its fruits. These 2-3 oz. tomatoes are described as golden and glimmering on the tongue.
One notable characteristic of the Auriga tomato is its high beta-carotene content. Beta-carotene is a pigment found in plants that the body can convert into vitamin A, which is important for vision, immune function, and skin health. It has been grown and appreciated in the UK, where it’s sometimes known as a ‘Shirley’ tomato, which are cluster trussed big cherry tomatoes. Cherished for its taste, productivity, and nutritional value. Auriga is particularly recommended for tomato enthusiasts who are always on the lookout for exceptional varieties to grow. Indeterminate. 75 dtm. 15 seeds per package.

The Auriga tomato, named after the Latin term for “charioteer,” stands out in the realm of salad tomatoes with its exceptional qualities. It is prized for its well-balanced blend of tangy and sweet flavors, high productivity, and its resistance to fruit cracking. This variety features vigorous vines that yield clusters of golden-orange fruits, each weighing about 2 to 3 ounces. The fruits are notable for their sugar-sweet flesh, which is beautifully tinged with a ruby hue, typically with eight or nine tomatoes per cluster.

Heirloom from Russia. Indeterminate, regular leaf plant produces high yields of 2 oz., orange cherry tomatoes that are full of well-balanced sweet flavors. Great for eating fresh off the vine or in salads. Known for its high content of carotene.

I located the woman who I received these from at a seed event!!

Auriga – 70 days. Indeterminate. Small, orange-red bicolour is apricot shaped. Very seedy, juicy, sweet. Great taste and flavour. Very productive. Lynn Morrison.

I can add that the plant is moderately sized, tidy. Fruit keeps well on the plant. Perky flavour. Very pretty when sliced with shades of rose and the seed gel gives a green highlight. Believe it originated in Switzerland and has high carotene content.
