Edible parts

Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Plumbrella' F1 tomato harvest. For a salad where the tomatoes take center stage, cut the ripe fruit into quarters 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. Mix olive oil with a little cider vinegar and drizzle this vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Season with 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 final bites. The size of the fruit dictates the cut: keep small fruits bite-sized and divide large tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last moment to a fresh preparation. For cooking, use a sufficiently large surface area so that the juices can evaporate.
