One the most popular heirlooms for northern growers out there! Originating in Russia it was named after beloved African American singer, actor and activist Paul Robeson who was highly celebrated in the Soviet Union. Superb eaten fresh with little salt and pepper. Its smoky, deep flavor lends itself well to all manner of savory sauces. We personally think it makes the best ketchup!
