I personally think they are better than regular red beefsteak. I made fresh salsa with these tomatoes, and I have never had salsa taste so good before. But then that's my own opinion. And they are really fun to give to people who have never even seen them before. In my southern utah town, we believe in the one and only red beefsteak and we don't try new things.

It is a solid tomato almost as dry as a paste tomato. Compared to yellow beefsteaks it comes off as dry and tasteless. Many folks claim they don't like yellow tomatoes because they are too dry. They probably are talking about a Jubilee or Sunray, most of them backtrack when I hand them a Goldie or Golden Ponderosa. On my taste buds, Jubilee and Sunray give yellow tomatoes a bad name.

I love this variety of yellow tomato! It adds beauty and flavor to summer dishes whether used in salads or tomato tarts.
