Artificial selection is a wonderful thing. The ugly black tomato I ate yesterday was fantastic. This is another reason why I love the 21st century.

Yesterday was the 1st time I ate a black tomato (Black UglyRipe Tomato - heirloom). It was fantastic.  What I ate looked exactly like this photo.

These sold FAST for 2016 !!!
​"This tomato is the result of an educated guess, a whole lot of luck and years of selecting the best of the best from hundreds of tomato plants over 5 generations. This is the darkest tomato we know of and is likely a nutritional powerhouse as anthocyanin can be seen forming in the flesh for the tomato under the smooth black skin.

Flavor potential is excellent.  Rich, smooth and savory with earthy tones.
Dave Kaiser, tomato junkie from Baker Creek tasted it at the 2015 National Heirloom Exposition and proclaimed it as the BEST tomato he had ever eaten."
