These are great tasting tomatoes. They are easy to grow and pretty prolific. The stripes make them a good conversation piece. I mix them with red tomatoes when I can salsa and it looks nice. They have a good texture - not tough outsides with squishy seed segments - the are juicy and tender throughout. They can be a little hard to tell if ripe so you have to look for the background color (not the stripes) to yellow a bit before harvesting.
