Black Beauty

Black Beauty Tomato is one of the darkest tomatoes available, known for its extreme anthocyanin expression the same powerful antioxidant found in blueberries and blackberries. Fruits can develop deep blue-black skin in full sun, with rich deep red flesh inside and exceptional eating quality.

Plants are vigorous indeterminate vines that produce medium to large fruits with dense, meaty texture and rich, savory flavour with earthy undertones. Fruits store well after harvest and flavour can deepen when held at room temperature.
