Tomato Profile: Ananas Noir aka Black Pineapple

 Ananas Noir is a beefsteak tomato developed by Belgian horticulturist, Pascal Moreau. This indeterminate plant boasts fruits up to 1 1/2 pounds.  Smooth-skinned and bursting with black, brown, green, red, orange, and pink hues. The flesh is sweet and meaty.  I found this gem at a local hardware store in Woodinville. Since the fruits are so heavy, a good tomato cage is essential. This plant grew to 4 feet tall. 


Fruits often weigh close to 1 pound or more.


This tomato was the first one ripe out of the 5 beefsteak varieties I am growing.



It does matter what light Ananas Noir is exposed to.  The stained-glass quality of the flesh is unsurpassed. 


This tomato is so refreshing, and tasty it is best eaten fresh. 
 

I used the tomato in a spicy Vietnamese noodle bowl for dinner.
