Edible parts

Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your Big Beef Plus F1 tomato harvest. For a salad where the tomatoes take center stage, cut the ripe fruit into wedges or thick slices and arrange them in a shallow dish. Finely slice a small shallot, then add it along with a few hand-torn basil leaves. Whisk olive oil with a little apple cider vinegar and drizzle this vinaigrette just before serving. Salt gradually to keep the fruit's flavor at the forefront. If desired, add pieces of fresh cheese and toasted bread. Collect the juices at the bottom of the dish to drizzle over the last few bites. The size of the fruit should guide your cutting: keep small fruit in bite-sized pieces and divide large tomatoes into easy-to-eat chunks. Very juicy flesh is best added to a fresh preparation at the last moment. For cooking, use a fairly large surface so that the juice can evaporate.
