Dancing with Smurfs

The best tasting of the indigo group of tomatoes in our opinion. Indeterminate plants pump out loads of purple-black cherry tomatoes with their own built in ripeness indicator. Just look for the bottom half of the fruit to turn red when perfectly ripe. The purple black colour on top contains the powerful antioxidant anthocyanin (like blueberries) which has many health promoting properties. Jim Myers of Oregon State University made a natural cross to create the first indigo tomatoes and then Tom Wagner, founder of Tater Mater Seed developed this wonderful variety. Thanks to both.
