A remarkable tomato with mahogany skin streaked with green and indigo, and shoulders so dark they appear almost black.

What I appreciate about Blue Zebra is the contrast of its colors, particularly striking because of the anthocyanins that give its shoulders their almost black hue. Its juicy fruits offer a mild flavor, with subtle acidity and delicate aromatic notes.

Originally from the United States, Blue Zebra is an indeterminate variety that produces fruit from mid-season onward.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
