The Purple Tomato: antioxidants, color, taste
The Purple Tomato is an indeterminate large-fruited cherry tomato with a highly vigorous vegetative growth and a strong main stem. Fruit forms green, then turns purple in the skin and flesh. Ready for harvest when fruit comes off the vine with a gentle twist. Purple Tomatoes continue to ripen off the vines and are best eaten when the fruit gives a bit with a gentle squeeze.
The purple color reflects the increased antioxidant content and presents a beautiful color and contrast on the plate, with a deep tomato taste.
