The Rutgers tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a classic American variety developed in 1934 through a collaboration between Rutgers University and the Campbell Soup Company. Bred for its excellent flavor, disease resistance, and suitability for canning, it quickly became a staple in both commercial and home gardens. This semi-determinate variety produces medium-sized, round red fruits with thick walls and a rich, balanced taste, embodying the ideal blend of sweetness and acidity that made it one of the most widely grown tomatoes in the U.S. during the mid-20th century.
