{"product_id":"midnight-roma-tomato","title":"Midnight Roma Tomato irish grown","description":"\u003cp\u003eMidnight Roma tomato was developed by Dr Jim Myers at Oregon State University. This semi-determinate sauce tomato pairs the bold anthocyanin dark skin of Indigo Rose with the paste-friendly Oregon Star tomato. The result is a richly pigmented plum-shaped tomato boasting both depth of flavour and nutritional density. Released in 2021, the Midnight Roma variety stands out for its antioxidant-rich skin and versatile culinary potential.  Maturing typically in 80 days, the deep purple-red fruits burst with complex flavour, tailor-made for sauces, pastes and roasting. Cooks praise its ability to reduce quickly, delivering layers of sweetness, acidity and rich umami - a true sauce-lover's dream. Some describe it as the inside of a Roma tomato while the skin tastes like blueberry. Amateur seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland and not for commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Scientific Name: \u003c\/i\u003esolanum lycopersicum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Plant Life Cycle: \u003c\/i\u003eannual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Optimal Germination Temperature: \u003c\/i\u003e21-29°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Germination time in days: \u003c\/i\u003e7-14 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Indicative Days to maturity: \u003c\/i\u003e80-120 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Sunlight: \u003c\/i\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Soil requirement: \u003c\/i\u003eWell drained and rich\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Sowing and cultivation: \u003c\/i\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost.
