Thanks to their high anthocyanin content, they have antioxidant properties and delight with unique shades: from deep blue to black. In this article, you will learn where to buy blue tomato seeds, what makes them useful, and what you need to know about growing them.

βœ… BENEFITS OF BLUE TOMATO VARIETIES

  • Unusual appearance. Blue tomatoes will be a true decoration for your garden and dishes. Their original color impresses and makes any slicing or salad look more attractive.
  • High anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are natural pigments with antioxidant properties. They help strengthen the immune system and have anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Diverse flavors. Blue varieties can be sweet or pleasantly tangy. Many types have fruity notes.
  • Wide choice of shapes and sizes. Among anthocyanin tomatoes, you can find both small cherry types and large beefsteaks with rich flavor.

🌱 GROWING FEATURES

Blue tomatoes are grown just like others, but there are nuances:

  • Skin color depends on light levels — the more sun, the brighter the blue shade.

  • For intense color, it’s worth removing excess leaves and tying up clusters for better air circulation.

  • The soil should be fertile, with enough potassium and phosphorus.

  • Regular watering and mulching will help maintain taste and plant health.
