Black Beauty, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Black Beauty — The Darkest Tomato in the World

Black Beauty is not just a dark tomato — it is the darkest tomato known to exist. Loaded with extreme anthocyanin — the same powerful antioxidant found in blueberries and blackberries — these remarkable fruits turn so deeply pigmented in full sun that some ripen to a solid, near-black exterior. Slice one open and you’ll find deep red, meaty flesh with a rich, smooth, savory flavor and earthy undertones that make it one of the best-tasting tomatoes you’ll ever grow.

Black Beauty hangs ripe on the vine longer than most varieties and has excellent post-harvest storage ability — it even improves with a bit of aging at room temperature. A mid-late season variety worth every day of the wait.

Why Grow Black Beauty?

• The darkest tomato in the world — extreme anthocyanin, near-black in full sun
• Rich, smooth, savory flavor — with earthy undertones, among the best-tasting tomatoes
• Exceptional post-harvest storage — hangs on vine and ages well at room temperature
• High antioxidant content — the same anthocyanins as blueberries and blackberries
• Full sun yields darkest color — maximize pigmentation with maximum light
• Open-pollinated heirloom — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Full sun is essential for maximum anthocyanin development and darkest coloring. Water consistently. Harvest when fruits are fully dark and give slightly to gentle pressure.
