| Deep Dark Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds - Black Organic Heirloom Garden Seed Wonderful Taste | | | | Description | Welcome!
Common Name: Tomato, Cherokee Purple
Latin: Lycopersicon
This tomato is loved for it's wonderful sweetness that is also rich and complex. It is reputed to be one of the finest tasting tomatos on the market. This tomato is believed to have been first cultivated by the Cherokee Indians in Tennessee. These tomatos are a deep dark purple and weigh in at 12 ounces to 1 pound.
Newsflash! The darker the tomato the higher the content of lycopene. Lycopene is an anti-oxidant that is responsible for the removal of free radicals from the body, 10 time more effective the vitamin E. Tomatos are the ultimate preventative medicine. They reduce the risk of stomach, lung, and prostate cancer. In addition they are good for the heart and will reduce a womans risk of delivering a child with spinal cord and/or brain defects.
I love this variety cut into cubes mixed with english cucumbers, feta, olive oil, a few garlic chives, and some sea salt. YUM.
