A richly colored purple-red paste tomato known for its high phytonutrient content. In the garden, its striking appearance stands out immediately. In the kitchen, this unique purple tomato excels thanks to its fast cooking time and bold, distinctive taste. Reaches maturity in about 80 days. Semi-determinate growth habit. Deeper purple tones develop with greater sun exposure, so pruning or training plants can help enhance coloration.
