Amish Paste Tomato Seeds (Heirloom Paste Tomato)
If you’re looking for one of the best tomatoes for homemade sauce, Amish Paste is a garden classic. This heirloom paste tomato produces large, oxheart-shaped fruit that’s meatier and sweeter than most traditional sauce varieties.
Known for both productivity and flavor, Amish Paste tomatoes are ideal for canning, sauce-making, and even fresh slicing.
