Tomato ‘Thai Pink Egg’ Seeds

Tomato ‘Thai Pink Egg’ (Solanum lycopersicum). This unique heirloom variety is renowned for its charming, smooth, egg-shaped fruits that ripen from a porcelain-white to an exquisite metallic rose-pink.

Growing as a vigorous, high-yielding bush (semi-determinate to indeterminate), 'Thai Pink Egg' produces heavy clusters of firm, 4–5cm egg-sized tomatoes throughout the warm season. Naturally resistant to cracking and exceptionally heat and humidity tolerant, it thrives during hot summer spells where other tomato varieties struggle. With a rich, sweet, low-acid flavor profile and crisp texture, these gorgeous pink fruits are perfect for fresh snacking, colorful summer salads, paste-making, roasting, and preserve sauces.
