Tomato: Indigo Apple

The Indigo Apple is an extraordinary tomato. An eye-catcher, to say the least. Related to the now famed OSU Blue Fruit tomato. Plants produce beautiful pendant clusters of 3-4 oz., tomatoes with deep purple to black colors (caused by high levels of anthocyanin… a naturally occurring antioxidant found in blueberries.) The gradual color changes appearing in the fruit as it ripens are interesting: the fruit begins green with purple/black colors starting at the crown and spreading around the fruit alongside mahogany and red-orange colors. Tomatoes are fully ripe when soft to the touch. Because of its appearance, good, sweet/tart flavors, and long shelf life, Indigo Apple has proven to be a good market tomato.
