Huang Se Chieh
Contents |
NY DA T
- This tasty Chinese tomato suprised us when one of the plants ripened with gold-skin, all the rest were clear skin and a pretty pale, moon-yellow. Fruits are two to three inches and develop a rose blush when fully ripe. Huang Se Chieh, 'Gold' or 'Moon Yellow', are both fine fresh or cooked.
