The Anawine tomato, a beefsteak-type variety resulting from a spontaneous cross between Ananas and Red Brandywine , was developed thanks to the patient work of Didier Meunier in the CART garden in Aubrecay. Even today, it remains rare in Quebec, cultivated with care after being recognized as one of the top 15 tomatoes by renowned tomato expert Michel Verdon.

In the garden, it displays a vigorous, indeterminate growth habit , producing large, yellow fruits streaked with red, often weighing close to a kilo. These vibrant fruits are reminiscent of the pineapple tomato with their marbled flesh, but are distinguished by their better firmness and resistance to cracking . In a vegetable garden that works in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons , it thrives on a stake or string, supported by a nourishing mulch, careful watering, and gentle pruning.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Annotation: Typical mid-summer tomato crop, requiring heat, light and regular watering monitoring.

With its firm, juicy, and sweet flesh, the Anawine tomato quickly becomes the star of summer plates. Its refined, fruity, slightly acidic taste makes it a prized variety for colorful salads, vegetable carpaccios, or thick slices served simply with salt, oil, and basil.

Few seeds, exceptional texture, clean cut: it appeals to both chefs and gourmet gardeners. It can also be gently roasted or cooked in thick sauces, where its richness is fully expressed.
