Edible parts
Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your Chef's Choice Rose F1 tomato harvest. Prepare a tartine with large slices of ripe tomato. Toast a thick slice of country bread sturdy enough to soak up the juices without falling apart. Lightly rub the warm crumb with a clove of garlic, then spread with cream cheese or ricotta. Cut the tomato crosswise into slices to showcase the flesh and the seed cavities. Arrange them on the bread, add a drizzle of olive oil, and a few basil leaves. Season with salt at the very last moment. For a more complete meal, serve the tartine with a salad of white beans and crisp greens. Let the size of the fruit guide how you cut it: keep smaller fruits in bite-sized pieces and divide larger tomatoes into easy-to-eat chunks. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh preparations. For cooking, use a wide surface so that the juice can evaporate.
