{"product_id":"293430","title":"Medium Tomato 'Indigo Rose'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first true purple tomato, with the same antioxidants as blueberries! Without the use of genetic modification, but after years of traditional cross-breeding and selection, Jim Myers of Oregon State University succeeded! Since 1960, this professor and his students have been perfecting a purple-skinned tomato. Mouse trials have already shown that anthocyanins (the antioxidants that cause the purple colour) are very healthy. That bodes well... The taste is simply that of a tomato: a good balance between sweet and sour. The fruits grow to the size of a golf ball (40-60 g) and are ripe when the purple skin changes from somewhat dull to shiny. The green \"bottom\" then turns red. The sun helps build up the purple colour; post-ripening and thus colour enhancement may be necessary. According to some sources, the flesh also changes from red to purple, but we only saw a red interior. The plants usually remain healthy and are not too tall: 100 cm, so some support is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis group of tomatoes is intermediate in size between cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes: medium-sized, in other words. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen somewhat later than the compact varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or growing tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenominations:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Medium-sized Tomato 'Indigo Rose'\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso: Purple tomato\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Tomato, medium size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"10 seeds","offer_id":44176242212917,"sku":"293430","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/293430.jpg?v=1750784831","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/293430","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
