Purple Calabash Tomato
Origin: Mexico
Item #: TOM021
Purple Calabash is a very
primitive and very unusual open pollinated tomato variety with unusual
crinkled looking purplish black tomato fruits. The tomatoes are literally
ruffled in appearance and are a very dark purple in color. Many consider
the Purple Calabash to be the darkest and truest purple colored tomato
in existence.This unusual tomato variety is excellent when used fresh and
features a rich, sweet taste.
On a side note, although
this tomato was likely not being grown there, it is today one of the tomatoes
being grown at Thomas Jefferson's preserved historical gardens at his estate
at Monticello in the United States.
The Purple Calabash Tomato
is thought to have originated in Mexico.
Good for climates hit by
drought.
