Tomato Blue Bayou 1
A stunning and unique variety known for its striking appearance and rich flavour. With  deep, dark purple to almost black skin, which develops its rich color due to high anthocyanin content. The tops of the tomatoes, where the fruit is exposed to the most sunlight, are the darkest, sometimes with hints of a vibrant blue hue. The lower portion of the fruit remains a deep red, creating a beautiful contrast. A rich, complex flavor that balances sweetness with a hint of tangy acidity. The taste is both deep and fruity, with a slightly smoky undertone.
 
High in vitamin C and lycopene.
