I find it hard to believe that Sioux is not mentioned on this website more often for its great taste. I have grown many of the more "talked about" varieties on this site and have yet to grow one that tastes better than Sioux. In my opinion, Sioux would appeal to those people that are looking for an "acidic" "sharp" or "tangy" flavor, (and there seem to be alot of folks searching for that kinda thing)

I first tried it based on this description given by TGS:

Sioux #4242 (30 seeds) $2.60

This heirloom variety was originally released in 1944 by the University of Nebraska and is worth planting today because of its incredible flavor and reliably large harvests even in hot weather. Although this appears to be an average size (6 oz.), unassuming red tomato, you just have to grow it to believe how good it is -- sweet yet tangy and full of those rich, complex flavors that make a delicious tomato memorable. Extraordinary taste in a round, red tomato. Indeterminate. 70 days.

I found it lived up to that description and, again, don't understand why it doesn't get more "air time" on this forum. My only guess is that is a small fruited and heat tolerant variety, and may be overlooked because of the two factors.

I for one would just like to sing its praises, especially to those interested in that sharp, acidic type flavor. Are there any other closet Sioux fans out there?

(btw, please dont start a "definition of taste" war in this thread)
