Solanum lycopersicum “Blueberry”

SKU N/A Category

A Jewel from the Vine

Beneath the summer sun, “Blueberry” tomato clusters hang like strings of midnight pearls kissed with a crimson dawn. At first, the small, round fruits shimmer with deep indigo skin—an anthocyanin-rich veil that slowly yields to a sweet blush as they ripen. When bitten, they burst with a bright, tangy-sweet flavor, marrying the earthiness of heirloom tomatoes with the crisp pop of a berry.

This modern cultivar is the work of artful breeding, drawing from wild tomato relatives (Solanum chilense and Solanum habrochaites) to infuse anthocyanins into the skin—a rare trait among tomatoes. The result is not only striking beauty but also heightened antioxidant content, aligning with a growing appreciation for nutrient-dense, colorful produce.
