Indigo Rose Tomato - Pkt. 30 Seeds

70 days.There has been an anticipatory buzz about this tomato for some years because the deep purple colored skins and surrounding tissue are extremely high in anthocyanin. The flavor is quite pleasing, much more so than early selections several years ago. A classically bred tomato like Indigo Rose is the result of ten years or more painstaking selection. Dr. Jim Myers and his students regularly walked the fields, tagged and numbered the promising lines, and grew out the seeds from those selected plants the following year. These tomatoes were continuously evaluated for color, flavor, and yields. In future years we expect to see offspring of Indigo Rose with additional traits. The presence of a high anthocyanin content offers some disease resistance. In 2012 we are delighted to introduce Indigo Rose as the first high anthocyanin tomato. From fighting cancer to fighting wrinkles anthocyanins are regarded as one of the chief reasons to eat our deeply colored fruits and vegetables. We produced our seed crop under an agreement with OSU to pay a percentage to our sales to help support their breeding program. We also thank Helen Hilman of for her fine photos. Indeterminate.
