Description: The Purple Calabash is an indeterminate, open pollinated tomato variety. These drought tolerant, scalloped beefsteak type tomatoes are an heirloom variety believed to originate from Mexico. The fruits display a variation in color from a deep pink or deep burgundy to dark purple and nearly brown, typically measuring about 3 inches wide. They are crack resistant and have a good storage life. Each juicy fruit weighs between 6 – 12 ounces and offers a rich, unique flavor that is both sweet and slightly tangy with hints of citrus.
Health Benefits: Tomatoes are highly beneficial for health, rich in the antioxidant lycopene, and contain significant amounts of vitamins A, B, and C, along with numerous other vitamins and minerals.
Uses: Tomatoes are versatile in culinary uses. They can be eaten fresh, added to salads, used in salsas, or sliced for sandwiches. For cooking, they can be grilled, fried, baked, or stewed. Tomatoes are essential for making tomato bisque, adding to stews and mixed vegetables, and are a crucial ingredient in ketchup or red sauce for pizzas and pastas. Storage options include freezing, canning, or drying.
Additional Information: Tomato plants are classified as either determinate or indeterminate. Determinate plants bear fruits that mature simultaneously, while indeterminate plants continue to grow and produce fruits until frost. There are over 7,500 different tomato varieties available globally.
