Organic tomato rarity "Black Beauty 

BLACK BEAUTY tomatoes are very aromatic blue/black tomatoes that ripen red, are crunchy and very good in salads and for eating raw.

*** Old tomato varieties have the habit of growing as they please. So there are often color differences, as well as various sizes and shapes in one variety. If it is too hot or cold for them, they help themselves with scars and cracks. Therefore: Scars in old varieties are a natural occurrence and do not reduce the quality! ***

By the way: As soon as a variety has been around for more than 30 years, it is considered an old variety.

Origin

Tomatoes are an ancient crop plant that was cultivated by the Indians of Central and South America long before the discovery of the New World by the Spaniards. Christopher Columbus brought them to Europe in 1498. However, they only began their triumphal march at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the tomato is one of the most important vegetables of all. They are grown worldwide, in all climate zones.

Tips

Tomatoes can be stored for a few days, but not in the refrigerator! 14° C is best. Still green, unripe fruits can be ripened on a sunny windowsill. To freeze tomatoes, peel them - this way they serve as a base for soups and sauces.
