Hi all
My mom got these yellow tomato seeds from Italy. I believe they are an heirloom variety but I don't remember the type name. Anyway they are beautiful yellow tomatoes with pink flesh exactly the colour of guavas.
I just cut up half a kilo for tomato jam and I kept some of the seeds. Would anyone like some?

We ate some of these in salads and on sandwiches and they are very yummy. They taste more 'tomatoey' than normal red ones. What is the word for that? I really can't explain it. They are also very firm - fantasic for salad. On top of that they are beautiful. I just saw a thing on TV with Jamey Oliver making tomato salad with peach tomatoes like these. They would be fantastic in a mixed tomato salad.
They also last for a long time out of the fridge. My mom says they hang them in Italy, al la

I'm thinking this might be same or similar to variety calked "Yellow Out Red In"

It's a very interesting looking tomato -- I love the colors -- and there are good write ups about this kind of variety. I'm hesitant because if same, it's a slow maturing variety and it may be difficult to grow in my garden. But I bet it would be a good fall-winter variety for longer growing season/milder winter areas.
