Tomato: Black Beauty

It was introduced as the World’s Darkest Tomato. Selected from a cross made between Pink Berkeley Tie Dye and Indigo Apple. Black Beauty tomato is a beautiful creation from Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms.   Impressive, dark, deep blue/black color, meaty and very rich flesh with very high anthocyanin impression on both – fruit and plant. Big 6-10 oz fruits are round or slightly flattened and ribbed on the shoulders. Very tasty with a delicious, well-balanced tomato flavor. They can be stored at room temperature for a few weeks after picking. Deep red flesh is among the best-tasting of all tomatoes. Antho tomatoes on the same plant can vary in color intensity, so watch out for some very interesting variations!
