Darkest tomato bred so far, exceptionally high in anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are powerful anti-oxidants. In the early stages of fruit development, Indigo Rose develops a dark purple pigment in its skin where exposed to direct sunlight. Green when unripe, purple-red when ripe, the 1-2 oz., cocktail-sized tomatoes have good flavor with 'plummy' overtones. Developed by Jim Myers at Oregon State University using traditional plant breeding techniques. Moderately vigorous. Compact indeterminate. Organically grown. 75 days.
Phyllis’ Notes:
We started growing Indigo Rose Tomatoes in 2013 at Marianne's request. She wanted this variety because of the anthocyanins, to insure her family's health. Our friends at Aujumama’s Food Truck makes a delicious jam out of these tomatoes. Indigo Rose Tomato plants for sale at the Clintonville Farmers' Market beginning Saturday, May 17th, from 9-1. Come ready this summer to CFM to sample more than 20 varieties of tomatoes from Granny B Farms. See you there.
