🌍 Origin

Beefsteak Tomatoes are cultivated in India, the Netherlands, and the USA using greenhouse and open-field farming techniques. The warm climate and nutrient-rich soil help produce tomatoes that are full-bodied, juicy, and visually striking. These premium tomatoes are hand-harvested when fully ripe and carefully packed to maintain their freshness during shipping to Middle Eastern markets, including Saudi Arabia. Known for their large size and juicy bite, beefsteak tomatoes are a mark of freshness and premium quality produce.
