Details
The most striking feature of these tomatoes is their color – a deep, almost black purple, which makes them stand out in any garden or dish. The tomatoes also have green shoulders, which contrast beautifully with the dark purple hue of the rest of the fruit. This combination of size, shape, and color makes these Tennessee-origin tomatoes not only a culinary delight but also a visually appealing addition to any tomato collection.
