Description
Solanum lycopersicum
Unique green-when-ripe tomatoes are nevertheless packed with loads of ‘Mater Flavor!
INDETERMINATE. A real workhorse variety! Plants produce loads of bright, tangy 3” round fruits. Their green flesh creates a beautiful color contrast on tomato plates and in salsas. They’re also handy for cooked dishes that feature tomatillos or green peppers, keeping the finished dish bright green rather than turning it brown like using red tomatoes will. For the best flavor, harvest when the skins blush yellow with green stripes!
Tomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well.
