The test results are in for the eight varieties of heirloom tomatoes grown at Waikiki School. All of the fourth grade students had the opportunity to rank each of the varieties based on marketability, appearance, and taste. The students used descriptive words to define the taste of the fruits and gave each variety a score. Here's what they found:
Perfect 10 for appearance:
Half moon china
Japanese black
Perfect 10 for taste:
Cherokee purple
Black cherry
Snow white
Japanese black
It was clearly a tough choice to pick an overall winner. However, once yield was included into the equation, four heirlooms stood out:
Cherokee purple
Half moon china
Japanese black
Black cherry
