Walter Reeves on Apr 10, 2012Sweetness and sourness of tomatoes is very much determined by the amount of sunshine present, amount of fertilizer and amount of water. A variety that tastes salty one year might be bland the next year. This link has many descriptions: http://www.totallytomato.com/Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 12, 2012Marvin, many of the darker purplish tomatoes are said to have a saltier taste. Cherokee Purple is a widely available variety of that type. And Black Krim is one of my favorites.Helpful Reply

Brendan Poynter on May 31, 2015Hi Marvin, I have never heard of a specific breed of tomato that is spicy. However, I have heard that some farmers and gardeners will plant their spicy pepper plants around any type (i.e. Roma, Beefsteak) tomato plant to cause cross pollination which gives the tomatoes that spicy kick. You may want to give that a try.Helpful Reply
