About this item:
Chocolate Stripes is an heirloom indeterminate tomato. The fruit measures 4 – 6 inches across and weighs up to 1 pound. They mature to a chocolate brown color with green stripes. Tomatoes offer various health benefits, being high in the antioxidant lycopene, and containing significant amounts of vitamins A, B, and C, among other vitamins and minerals. Tomatoes can be consumed fresh like a fruit, included in salads, salsa, or as slices for sandwiches. They are also versatile in cooking, suitable for grilling, frying, baking, or stewing, and can be used in dishes like tomato bisque, stews, and mixed vegetables. Furthermore, tomatoes are essential for making ketchup or red sauce for pizzas and pastas. For storage, tomatoes can be frozen, canned, or dried.

Tomato plants are categorized as either determinate or indeterminate. Determinate plants have fruits that mature simultaneously, while indeterminate plants grow and produce fruit continuously until frost.

Interesting fact: There are over 7,500 different types of tomatoes available.
