The tomato "Bärentatze" is an old, traditional variety that is highly valued in Germany.
Type: The Bärentatze is a beefsteak tomato known for its large and juicy fruits. It is one of the so-called "heirloom" varieties, which are often valued for their taste and robustness.
Color: The fruits of the Bärentatze are usually red to dark red and have a slightly irregular shape that is reminiscent of a paw - hence the name.
Taste: These tomatoes are known for their full-bodied, sweet taste with a pleasant acidity. They are very juicy and are ideal for fresh preparations as well as for cooking.
Growth: The plants are robust and require a lot of sunlight and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. They grow well both outdoors and in the greenhouse.
Harvest time: The harvest time is usually around 80 to 90 days after sowing, depending on the growing conditions.
Care: Like many other varieties of tomatoes, the Bear Paw requires regular watering and fertilization. It is advisable to support the plants to prevent the stems from breaking due to the weight of the fruit.
Uses: These tomatoes are excellent in fresh preparations such as salads, sandwiches or as a snack straight from the bush. They can also be used in cooking, especially in sauces or soups, where their intense flavor comes to the fore.
