Blue tomatoes captivate with their sparkling flavor and appealing aesthetics. These indeterminate plants yield trusses of 1–2 ounce small slicing tomatoes, which undergo a fascinating color transformation from green with purple tops and crimson bottoms to midnight black with deep maroon bottoms as they ripen. Boasting high levels of anthocyanin, an antioxidant also found in blueberries, these tomatoes offer health benefits alongside their stunning looks and delicious taste. Indigo Blue Chocolate tomatoes, small and round with a chocolate-brown hue, provide a juicy yet firm texture and a rich, sweet yet acidic flavor. These vigorous plants produce well throughout the season, with fruit known for their sunburn and crack resistance, ensuring a fruitful and visually striking addition to any garden.
