Sirja's Love Tomato | Solanum lycopersicum | Tomato Review 2024

Welcome back everybody. We're going to do a tomato review on this tomato right here. I'm going to back you out a little bit I'm going to do a tomato review on this tomato and it's called surge's love don't know much about it But whatever information I do pull up from the internet, I will put in the description below as well as the website So here we go. Let's take a better look at this Tomato, I didn't do too good with it. It did die early this year and we are going to Be growing this next year. One of the problems Was is that I didn't notice was generally Not a very tall plant. I think it's a dwarf variety And so it just didn't do good. I didn't place it in the right part of my garden for such a small tomato In fact next year, we're going to be growing all the dwarf tomatoes and micro dwarf tomatoes And short tomato plants some tomato plants, even though they're not Called a dwarf. They're generally just small plants. They don't get too much bigger than two feet They're regular plants, but they don't get big but they're not considered a dwarf. I don't know that There's some varieties like that So all of those types of varieties now that I know what they are and how they grow and everything they'll be grown separately from the other tomatoes in my garden, which are monsters to be honest with you, but Anyway, this is it and we're not going to weigh it because you could basically see it's about the size of a current tomato Or very small cherry tomato, so it's going to weigh very little i'm not sure if They get any bigger than this again, I don't have um, any tomatoes Left on there for me the plant's basically dead. So I don't know and plus when I did plant the seeds to this I planted I don't know maybe four or five, uh seeds from the seed package that I got it from And there were a couple plants that were not this variety That came up with it and they ended up dominating that that spot and these died But the one that wasn't this variety lived and is putting out fruit, but it's not this one. So Uh, we will definitely concentrate on growing this next year. So Anyway, uh, let's cut it in half and do a bricks on it. See what the brick says Cut this one, I guess I'll show you the inside too Oh, this one's not ripe at all any good That's what the inside looks like anyway All right, so it's just a basic by chamber that's that I don't even know if I want to eat that That's not even right We'll cut this one. I know this one's right. It's been around a while There we go Yeah, it's nice and juicy How's that one? all right, so let's uh do a bricks and See what it says Oh, it's almost seven. It's like six and three quarters on the bricks, which is It's pretty high. That's a good sign so Without any further ado. Let's uh, let's give that a go Okay, start off with the sweetness. It generally wasn't very high And it was a little bit lower than than um center line on the sweetness, but it wasn't bad um If I were to put a number on the sweetness, I'd probably say Uh say, you know from zero to fifty i'd probably say about maybe 22 on the sweetness again It wasn't very high in the sweetness So 22 would probably be fair number to give that on the sweetness now. The tangy part was strange there was a type of I don't i've never had tomatoes like this before but this tomato almost had like a salty type of a flavor to it Believe it or not. It tasted a little bit like it was salty So i'm not sure how to rate that part of it, but the tangy part it was it was the salty part was like connected with the uh, The tangy part of it, which was the more dominant than than the sweet obviously So if I was to give the tangy a number was much higher than that I'm going to say the tangy was probably about a 33 to 35 So it was kind of on the tangy side So it had a salty flavor though like to it it didn't taste bad don't get me wrong it didn't taste bad It was just strange You you don't need salt for this tomato. This tomato has like his own salt or something in there but The tomato flavor as far as the prominence of it. It was very strong It that because of that salty flavor that the whole effect of that tomato flavor was was incorporated to this Salty-ish type of an effect which was very nice. It left a very interesting aftertaste in my mouth Very interesting. I really strange. I definitely want to explore this tomato a little more So it where would I place that from zero to ten with ten being the highest? How dominant was that flavor? I'm going to put that at about a seven and a half. It was pretty dominant Because of the salty flavor that it had it really delivered the whole package of that tomato odd tomato combination flavor So we're going to go about seven and a half on that tomato flavor. It's definitely around that number It was a lot higher than I normally would rate, uh tomato flavors And again when we're talking about the the tomato flavor, we're talking about how concentrated how strong was that flavor in the whole? Flavor profile of that tomato taste test how prominent was that flavor? That's what we're talking about here How concentrated was that flavor? We're not talking about how good it was talking about how characteristic how strong was that characteristic? Of that tomato flavor with the uh, you know with the with the experience the the review Moisture was generally pretty low. That's again. These some of these tomatoes been sitting out for a while In fact that one over there is not even ripe yet. Not totally right, but Uh, how would I how would I rate the moisture on it? Um Wasn't totally moist. Uh I'd probably go about a three on the moisture. It was relatively pretty low guys It wasn't really juicy, but it was it was wet but not really juicy It was kind of on the dry side again The plant died early could just be because they were they ripened green on a dead plant Basically, I mean they ripen to a uh color like that. Um, as far as tarty sour I don't know that salty flavor or tartiness was kind of like incorporated to all together. This is very odd for me Um, the tarty or sour flavor was kind of incorporated with the tanginess Using the um uh saltiness as like a Binder of some way it just it connected the flavors somehow But there was a little bit of a tartiness in there very slightly. I'd probably go with a one on the tartiness uh only because I felt it on the very bottoms of my jaw in the very back of your Your jaw the very last area where your wisdom tooth are right behind there I get an effect when I eat something tangy. I can really feel like a uh I don't know what I don't know how to describe the feeling it's just when I eat something Sour and my mouth is starting to pucker that part of my jaw really gets affected So that's why I separated that and I included that separately sometimes Uh, you can taste that you can get that effect a lot Sometimes you don't at all and I don't get that effect with the tangy or acidity flavor Which i'm probably gonna put tangy put acidy or tangy flavor I'm probably gonna update that title to that because I don't want to confuse people between tangy and tarty When I when i'm talking about tarty or sour I'm referring to that effect you get in the back of your jaw I get that once in a while with tomatoes not strong, but I a little bit I can pick it up because I do so many Tomatoes, I eat so many tomato varieties. I've trained my Myself to be able to to look for that effect. I pay attention very deeply to these very slight nuances So again, it was something there i'll probably just put a one on it for now But we're going to re-review this next year again And uh this way we'll grow it out and we'll really see what this thing can really do Uh, there were no undertones on it other than that salty flavor. I i'm not sure Uh where to put something like that. I guess you could say it was a slight undertone to it the flavor had like a uh A richness to it. It was like a richy Uh salty flavor I can't even describe that there was something there maybe i'll consider it as part of that Probably put that salt flavor under the undertones and say consider that probably about a two and a half Something like that for the undertone or salt, whatever you want to call it Real strange effect on that. So yeah, there was something going on there texture was about average. I'm not gonna you know again, we didn't get too many tomatoes and Texture was about average on that. We'll probably just call out a five production was obviously really low because the plant died early so I can't really uh judge the production, but I I I this year wasn't very good. So I can't i'm not going to rate it based on a production Unfortunately, even the texture would be kind of wrong because it's just a few tomatoes I got So how would I rate it overall i'm going to rate this actually? From number one being the highest and number ten being the lowest I probably would rate this thing at least a four for this year and i'll probably bring that number up next year Once I grow it out more and I get more tomatoes That salty flavor and that the the odd Flavor of that tomato flavor itself. It did have an odd kind of a flavor I don't know what to call that tomato flavor or undertones. It's a It was a very strange effect We'll have to grow this out next year to really give you a true reading of that rating It'd be unfair if I say oh, it's a number eight, you know, or it's a number four I don't know what how to rate it yet So when I grow it next year, we get a bunch more tomatoes. We'll really start to explore this flavor I can tell you right now the flavor that I did pick up from this is very very strange you're very very oddball and and uh It's unusual. It's not going to be like any of the other tomatoes that i'm growing This thing was in a world of its own when it came to the taste of it So where would I rate it? I probably for now i'm just going to rate it four And I think i'm going to bring that number up next year because it's such a unique flavor We'll we'll uh, we'll definitely explore that a little better But really that's it guys. That's that's my tomato review for the surges love tomato um I will leave all the information in the description below and i'll leave it on my website and I will also leave a link that'll bring you to This page you'll be able to read about everything in the description below about what this is and if you want looking for updates Go visit the website because I usually do my updates there and I don't always update the videos So if you're somebody watching this video like a year from now or two years from now or something Go to the website and read the description there because I may have not have updated this uh description All right, so that's it.
