Gold Medal Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Two-tone tomato with large, very sweet marbled fruits. Its firm, rosy, acid-free flesh has won several gastronomic competitions in the United States. The yellow fruit takes on a red and orange color as it ripens. This old variety was introduced in 1921, in New York, under the name of Ruby Gold. It was renamed Gold Medal by the American seed company Ben Quisenberry in 1976.
