The Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) 'Indigo Blue Berries BIO' is an organically grown, relatively early cherry tomato that stands out not only for its flavor but also for its unique color and health-supporting properties. This unique variety produces small cherry tomatoes weighing approximately 10–15 grams, with a visually striking color spectrum ranging from blue-violet to red. It's ideal for home gardeners, professional growers, and culinary enthusiasts who want to add a beautiful color and extra nutritional value to their dishes.

Unique color and high anthocyanin content

The fruits of Indigo Blueberries Organic turn blue-violet on the sunny side, thanks to their high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that help support the immune system and protect body cells from oxidative stress. Their unique color develops because the underside of the fruit ripens red, while the sunny side remains bluish. The result is a visually spectacular contrast that makes any dish stand out.

Indigo Blueberry BIO berries are only fully ripe when they turn reddish on the underside and bluish on the top. At this point, the flavor is at its peak, and the berries have reached their highest anthocyanin content.
