Heirloom tomato with large round yellow-orange fruits, 35 farmers' seeds
The "Yellow Belgium" yellow tomato seeds from the Kokopelli association come in a packet of 35 organic, open-pollinated seeds. This heirloom variety produces round, yellow-orange fruits of 150 to 300 g, with dense, juicy, sweet flesh, mainly intended to be eaten raw. Its indeterminate growth habit calls for solid staking from the moment it is planted out.
Yellow Belgium is a very old large-fruited tomato with round, orange-yellow fruits weighing 150 to 300 g. The fruits contain few seeds, and their dense, juicy flesh has a mild, slightly sweet flavour. Sliced, its orange-yellow flesh stands out from the red of the other tomatoes in your basket.
The variety comes from the United States, where it is said to descend from Giant Belgium, a pink-fruited tomato selected in Ohio. It crops mid-season, from July to October depending on the sowing date, and its growth is indeterminate: the stem keeps lengthening until the first frosts, so you need a stake or a string from the moment it is planted out. It can be grown in open ground or under glass, in full sun, in free-draining, rich, warmed soil.
⚖️ The weight of the fruit
A 300 g fruit exerts leverage on the truss that carries it, so that a string that is too thin cuts through the stem and a stake that has not been driven in firmly tips over under the load. So plan for solid support from the moment of transplanting, train the plant on one or two stems, and support the fruits of your first trusses individually. This training is decided before planting, because a stake added in June passes through roots that are already established.
🍽️ Raw, in thick slices
Its sweetness and dense flesh make it best suited to raw cooking, which shows off its colour on your plate. It is sliced thickly, served with olive oil and salt, and pairs with a red tomato such as Jupiter for a two-tone plate. Cooked, it gives golden sauces, but its juicy flesh needs longer reduction than a preserving tomato.
In salads
Serve it in thick slices, with olive oil and salt. Its sweetness speaks for itself.
As carpaccio
Alternate its slices with a red tomato, for a contrast of colour.
As a sauce
It gives a golden sauce, which needs reducing for longer than a tinned tomato.
Tie up large fruits in a single movement
A Yellow Belgium plant is tied to its stake every week, as the stem lengthens and the trusses fill out. The plant tying machine wraps a tape around the stem and the stake, staples it and cuts it with a single squeeze of the hand. You keep your other hand free to hold a stem weighed down with 300 g fruits, and each tie goes on in a few seconds along the whole row.
💧 In a greenhouse and in aquaponics
Under a closed shelter, neither wind nor insects release the pollen, and the flowers drop without setting fruit. Vibrate the flower stem with your fingertip every day, or press the back of an electric toothbrush against the stem for a few seconds around midday, as described in the guide on how to pollinate your plants indoors. In your aquaponic system, a large-sized plant needs a system that has been running for at least 2 to 3 months, a pH of 6.4 to 7.5 and a media bed deep enough for its roots. In a younger system, the foliage turns yellow and the plant stalls, and the guide to plant deficiencies in aquaponics helps you identify the missing element.

What you need to know
- Double up the training twine as soon as you transplant. A 300 g fruit acts as a lever on the truss that carries it, and a thin tie cuts into the stem before the end of summer.
- Train the plant on one or two stems and pinch out the side shoots every week. A large-fruited variety that keeps all its shoots spreads its vigour over too many fruits.
- Support the fruits of the first two trusses individually, with a net or a strip of cloth. These are the heaviest on a still-young plant.
- Under a closed shelter, the flower does not set fruit on its own. A daily vibration of the flower stem with your fingertip replaces the missing wind and insects.
- Do not rely on colour alone when picking. On a yellow-orange variety, the eye is easily fooled: rely on flesh that gives slightly under your thumb.
- In aquaponics, a large-fruited variety is one of the most demanding crops in nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Wait until the system has been running for 2 to 3 months before installing it.
