Organic 'Indigo Apple' tomato

*Solanum lycopersicum*

Product code : NOR-GR06

The organic 'Indigo Apple' tomato produces round fruits whose purple coloring contrasts with the red that appears at maturity. Their firm and fleshy flesh offers a sweet flavor. The tomatoes weigh about 55 to 100 g (1.9 to 3.5 oz), a convenient size for salads and small portions. This indeterminate variety continues to grow throughout the season and must be staked. It reaches maturity around 75 days after transplanting. Wait for the red coloring on the ripe parts before picking; the dark pigmentation alone is not enough to identify a ready-to-harvest fruit.

Edible parts

Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your harvest of organic 'Indigo Apple' tomatoes. Assemble an open-faced sandwich using large slices of ripe tomato. Toast a thick slice of country bread sturdy enough to hold the juices without falling apart. Lightly rub the warm crumb with a garlic clove, then spread with fresh cheese or ricotta. Slice the tomato crosswise to reveal the flesh and seed chambers. Arrange them on the bread, drizzle with olive oil, and top with a few basil leaves. Season with salt at the very last moment. For a more substantial meal, serve the tartine with a salad of white beans and crunchy greens. Let the size of the fruit guide how you cut it: keep small fruits whole for bite-sized pieces and cut large tomatoes into manageable chunks. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh dishes. When cooking, use a wide surface so that the juices can evaporate.
