Fruits are usually oval and slightly flattened at the ends, with deep grooves and those characteristic dark green shoulders. Inside, the flesh is pinkish, compact, very firm, juicy and meaty, with only small seeds. The flavour is typically sweet and full, making it a real favourite for salads and slicing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information on growing tomatoes, check out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.collieflowers.co.uk\/growing-guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003egrowing guides\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard pack: 10 seeds.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collie Flowers Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009415110920,"sku":"00280","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5105\/6904\/files\/Tomato_Raf.jpg?v=1766155509","url":"https:\/\/collieflowers.com\/products\/tomato-raf-seeds","provider":"Collie Flowers Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
