USA Organic Indigo Rose Blue Tomato Seeds, Professional Pack, 100 Seeds / Pack, NON-GMO Rare Heirloom Fruit #NF875Item NO.: NF875

This is definitely the most unique tomato that we've seen!  Some call it Blue some Purple and some say its black - you decide. The areas exposed to sunlight produce this dark purple/blue color. The bottom is green until fully ripe when it turns red. The inside is a reddish purple which looks just like the inside of a plum. Absolutely Beautiful! Oregon State University has been working on a "Blue" tomato for years and has finally released a stable version now called Indigo Rose. Other variations have been called "OSU Blue" "P20" however they were not stable, or open pollinated. This variety is now open pollinated. Open Pollinated describes a plant type that if you save the seeds from its fruit, then plant those seeds, it will grow the same exact plant as the original. (Hybrids are the opposite, they will not grow the same plant as they have not been stabilized) They chose to breed these tomatoes using natural cross-pollination methods as opposed to Genetic Modifications in a lab. They areNON-GMO. They naturally crossed wild not-so-good-tasting blue tomatoes with better tasting tomatoes until they found something that was actually all-around great. The tomato has a high concentration of antioxidants specifically anthocyanins as found in blueberries, black raspberries, acai and many others which is said to help prevent many diseases including cancer. This tomato is in a category of its own. You HAVE to grow this to wow your friends and family.
