Recently named one of the best heirloom tomatoes by the food editors of Sunset magazine, Kellogg's Breakfast is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Originally bred in Redford, Michigan by a gardener named Darrell Kellogg, a railroad supervisor.
It is absolutely unique, both for its size and for its bold golden skin and juice, exactly the color of fresh-squeezed orange juice! This giant sets fruit weighing anywhere from 16 to 32 ounces. Slightly flattened, the globes are massive, hanging over the edges of sandwich bread. A good mix of solids and gels makes for a delicious and superbly sweet bite, and you'll need many, many bites to finish just one Kellogg's Breakfast! Very productive too.
