"A breakthrough in breeding, this tomato is actually healthier for you than others you can grow or buy. Packed with the 50% more of the beneficial antioxidant lycopene, this prolific saladette produces a bountiful crop of 4 ounce, sweet red fruits. The harvest of this determinant type tomato is ready about 75 days after setting plants out in the garden. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Grow in full sun, where plants receive a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sun a day. Sorry, state laws prohibit shipping plants to Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, California, Nevada. Plants ship in spring at proper planting time. ( click here for shipping schedule ) "

Terrific productivity, not such great flavor,
November 2, 2008 Submitted by2GreenThumbs from Eastern Pennsylvania
"After growing Burpee Big Boy tomatoes for the past several years, I decided to try Health Kick for a change. While they produced from late summer until frost in enormous numbers, I have to admit I really didn't care for the flavor as much as the Burpee Big Boy tomatoes. I probably won't grow these again for that reason."

Excellent tomatoes,
April 13, 2008 Submitted bywillyb from SE Michigan
"I bought these plants last year. We had an abundance of excellent, firm, smooth, juicy tomatoes in spite of our hot, dry summer. There were still blossoms and young fruit when I pulled the plants in October. These are the only sauce-type tomato I will grow in the future. My only complaint was that I had way more tomatoes than I and my neighbors could possibly use!"

Great Tomatoes and SO MANY!,
February 29, 2008 Submitted byValdeth from Xenia, Ohio
"I bought these plants as seedlings from a local garden center last year. The fruit came on very early (long before my Big Boy Hybrids) and lasted all the way PAST frost. Each day I would pick 5-10 tomatoes! The flavor was a tiny bit acidic, but still excellent, despite their "roma" size, I even cut them up for sandwiches. I'd grow them again in a second."

"this was one of the plants in the grouping of tomatoes we purchased. The plant grew strong and healthy. There was an abundance of constant fruit right up to our just recent frost. Nice tomatoes. Plentiful. No disease."

Excellent Producer,

"One plant alone has provided us an abundance of tomatoes. This is my first year growing Health Kick in particular and find they are now my preference for making sauces and salsas and are excellent simply sliced in a salad on their own."

"I grew Health Kick tomatoes last year (along with 5 other varieties) and have to rate them as one of the best of the 6. They grew well with minimum care, produced abundant fruit, and the taste was good. This year they are supplanting my old standby Roma tomatoes, because as a saladette, Health Kick is juicier and of course has the added benefit of having the highest level of lycopene. I grew my six varieties of tomatoes from seed last year. This year I plan to grow Health Kick plants from seed and also to order some plants from Burpee in order to assess which works better for me in zone 6. I am also only growing Health Kick and an heirloom slicer which Burpee does not carry. I recommend this tomato."

"We recently moved and bought this as part of a 9 plant package from Burpee to get the garden started. Turned out to be the best of lot and one of best tomato's I have planted in last several years. Smallish tomato, but very good tasting raw with low acid, sweet taste. Plant was compact size but high yielding. Early producer. Excellent addition to garden."

"Last year, living on Long Island, I purchased one of these plants and it was exceptionally good. We even made sauce that was amazing from these. They were good picked straight from the vine and better than our cherry tomatoes! This year we live in Virginia and hope it does as well!"
