Review & Description
Bosque Blue is our contribution to the Blue tomato phenomenon. This beautiful dark blue tomato has as much antioxidant as the blueberry and makes a wonderful salad tomato. With old-fashioned flavor and a new color, Bosque Blue is bound to be a winner in your garden. The 6 foot plants bear abundantly beginning around 65 days from transplanting and continue right up to frost.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and the seeds are high in fiber. The green parts are mildly poisonous, which is not surprising, as tomatoes are closely related to both nightshade and tobacco. The tomato was originally believed to be poisonous when introduced into Europe, and was used solely as an ornamental plant during the 16th and 17th centuries. The first traces of its use as a food date back to the first half of the 18th century. Tomatoes are now a tasty ingredient in many dishes, and are used fresh, canned, stewed or even sun-dried.
