What makes it special?
Ananas Noire is an extraordinary beefsteak tomato from Belgium, also known as the Black Pineapple Tomato. Its large fruit shows greenish, bronze to red-brown tones on the outside and is marbled yellow, green, pink and red when cut.
Fully ripe, the variety tastes sweet-fruity, aromatic and well-balanced. We raise the open-pollinated young plants ourselves in Illmitz. Ananas Noire especially suits anyone looking for a large-fruited tomato rarity for eating fresh.
Flavour & Use
The juicy, meaty flesh combines a clear sweetness with mild acidity and a complex tomato aroma. As with all large-fruited tomatoes, the exact expression depends on sun, ripeness and water supply.
Ananas Noire shows best fresh: in bold slices, in tomato salad, with mozzarella, on bread, or as a colourful accent on a cold platter. It also works for sauces, though its distinctive marbling is lost during cooking.
Fruit & Plant
Ananas Noire is an indeterminate, vigorously growing beefsteak tomato. The plants usually reach around 180–220 cm and need a sturdy support.
The flat-round, sometimes lightly ribbed fruit can reach around 200–500 g depending on growing conditions. Outside, it ripens multicoloured in green, bronze and red tones; the flesh is strikingly marbled yellow-green-pink to red. The variety ripens medium-late.
Growing & Care
Choose a full-sun, warm and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot. A sturdy support is essential; tie in heavy fruit clusters additionally if needed.
For classic cordon growing, we recommend training to one or two shoots and regular pruning of side shoots. For pot growing, the container should hold at least around 25 litres; larger is better for a vigorous beefsteak tomato.
Water evenly from below and avoid waterlogging. Fluctuating soil moisture can encourage cracking in large fruit. Feed regularly with a suitable tomato fertiliser during flowering and fruiting.

Ananas Noire – a multicoloured beefsteak tomato with a special aroma
Ananas Noire is one of the most striking multicoloured beefsteak tomatoes. The large fruit combines green, bronze and reddish tones; sliced open, it shows a vivid marbling. We raise our open-pollinated tomato plants ourselves in Illmitz.
What makes Ananas Noire special?
The Belgian variety is also known as the Black Pineapple Tomato. Unlike single-colour beefsteak tomatoes, its appearance changes noticeably as it ripens. Fully ripe fruit yields slightly to gentle pressure and shows warmer bronze and red tones at the blossom end.
How does Ananas Noire taste?
The flesh is juicy and meaty. Its flavour is carried by sweetness, mild acidity and a layered tomato aroma. For the best result, let the fruit fully ripen on the plant.
Ananas Noire in the kitchen
Its strength clearly lies in eating fresh. Thick slices show off the marbling especially beautifully and suit tomato salad, caprese, sandwiches or toasted bread. Sauces are possible too, though the variety is visually most impressive fresh.
Growing Ananas Noire
The indeterminate cordon tomato keeps growing through the season and needs a sturdy support. A sunny, warm and rain-sheltered spot supports ripening and fruit quality. For classic growing, we recommend training the plant to one or two shoots and regularly pruning side shoots.
Ananas Noire in a pot
For pot growing, we recommend at least around 25 litres of volume. A larger container buffers water and nutrient swings better. Especially with heavy beefsteak tomatoes, even watering and additionally securing loaded fruit branches are important.
A tomato plant, raised by us
Our Ananas Noire young plants are raised in Illmitz. The variety is a good choice if you're after an open-pollinated beefsteak tomato where looks and flavour are equally central.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
