Overview
Kellogg's Breakfast is a big orange beefsteak heirloom from the United States, with fruit that can weigh one to two pounds, deep orange all the way through, with very meaty, nearly seedless flesh. The flavor is sweet, mild, and low in acid with a fruity depth that is best appreciated fresh. Vines are indeterminate and need firm staking or a cage; thinning to two or three leaders helps produce the biggest fruit. It ripens on the slow side, about 70 to 80 days, so start early in warm regions to beat peak summer heat.
