Cherokee Purple tomatoes are a unique heirloom variety known for their rich, sweet flavor and striking appearance. They have a deep purple-red color with green shoulders, making them visually appealing. These tomatoes are typically medium to large in size and are often used in salads, sandwiches, and sauces. Originally cultivated by the Cherokee Nation, these tomatoes thrive in warm climates and require full sun for optimal growth. They are indeterminate plants, meaning they continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season. Their robust taste and historical significance make them a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike.
