What makes tomatoes black

As we said, the color can be from light chocolate to purple-brown, almost black. This color of the plant is obtained in the presence of red and purple pigments. Red is found in common varieties of tomatoes, lycopene and carotenoids give it, but where did purple come from? It's all about anthocyanins, they are responsible for the purple color, for example, there are a lot of them in eggplants, red cabbage, etc.

Anthocyanins got into tomatoes by genetic engineering or by natural selection.

What is the peculiarity of black tomatoes:

• They have a special taste due to the increased amount of sugars and a harmonious sugar-acid index.
• The presence of a large amount of antioxidants cleanses the body.
• The presence of a large number of anthocyanins helps to strengthen the immune system, as well as blood vessels.

Original varieties of black tomatoes are in high demand among gardeners. Strictly speaking, they are not black, but painted in rich dark shades of various colors - maroon, purple, brown.

These unusual vegetables were obtained not by genetic modification, but by traditional crossing of various wild and cultivated forms.

Distinctive features of chokeberry tomatoes

Choke varieties stand out among other tomatoes with a special color, piquant taste and a specific set of nutrients.

Anthocyanin coloration

An intense dark shade of the fruit is given by special organic pigments - anthocyanins. Modern science suggests that these natural substances have biological activity and may be beneficial to human health.

The benefits of anthocyanins:

• improve the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract, reduce inflammation;
• reduce the risk of developing tumors of the esophagus, intestines and other organs;
• have a positive effect on the prostate gland and men's health in general;
• have a beneficial effect on vision;
• reduce oxidative damage to cells, blood vessels.

It is likely that eating natural foods rich in anthocyanins slows down the overall aging process in humans. In addition, dark fruits contain a wide range of vitamins, organic compounds and minerals typical for all tomatoes (vitamins A and C, lycopene, rubidium, etc.).

Potential harm

The benefits and harms of black-fruited varieties are a matter of study. The danger occasionally arises only for people prone to allergies.

Their body (especially children) can react negatively to both anthocyanins and the poisonous glycoside solanine, which is present in small amounts in unripe tomatoes. Ripe fruits are less allergenic.

Specific taste

Black tomatoes add a special piquancy to fresh vegetable salads, interesting for decorating various dishes. They are also excellent in salting, especially when filled with sweet marinades (including those with spicy cloves or carrot tops).

Black tomatoes have appeared in the beds not so long ago. They were bred in the middle of the last century by selection, crossing wild and familiar garden vegetables. New varieties of black tomatoes appear almost every year. However, in horticultural farms, tomatoes with an unusual color are still an exotic crop.

Characteristics

Black tomatoes are often referred to as dark-fruited because their color ranges from purple to dark brown. This color is given to vegetables by natural pigments anthocyanins, which are found in beets or eggplants. Thanks to anthocyanins, which have high antioxidant activity, vegetables are very healthy. Eating these varieties helps reduce the risk of cancer cell formation. In addition, medical reviews about unusual vegetables are the most positive. Dark-fruited tomatoes contain substances that strengthen the immune system, improve vision and restore vascular tone.

Black tomatoes differ from ordinary red fruits in a more pronounced taste, since they contain an increased amount of sugar and organic acids. They are eaten fresh and added to salads. Like red vegetables, dark-skinned tomatoes can be jarred for the winter. In general, in terms of the method of cooking and eating, these exotic varieties of tomatoes are no different from red ones. But with their unusual appearance they will decorate any dish. There are a large number of videos on the Internet in which housewives talk about the use of an unusual tomato in cooking, and gardeners share their opinions about growing a crop.

Popular types

Since the vegetables were grown by selection, each variety has its own advantages and distinctive features. There are many types of dark tomatoes. The best varieties are already known to most gardeners and are successfully grown by vegetable-growing enterprises and ordinary summer residents. Other species are just being described and are not yet common to farmers. The most popular varieties include:

1. Black Moor. This is perhaps the most famous and fruitful dark-fruited species. Mavr tomatoes are small and teardrop-shaped. Those farmers who want to get a big harvest grow exactly Mavra. The bush is capable of forming up to 10 brushes. At the same time, from 10 to 20 ovaries are formed on each bush. Thus, farmers get about 5 kg of vegetables from one bush alone. Sweet fruits can be either closed for the winter or eaten fresh.
2. De Barao. A high-yielding variety with beautiful purple plum-like fruits. Gardeners' reviews of tomatoes are very good. Vegetables are resistant to various diseases. The fruits ripen within 4 months after planting the seeds and give a good harvest.Their skin is dense, so they can be stored for a long time. Bushes grow tall, so they definitely need a garter and molding.
3. Tomato Black Baron. For its special taste, the Baron is called a vegetable of true gourmets. It is the sweetest and most juicy of all dark-fruited crops. The fruits of this tomato variety are great for juices and salads. And although vegetables require constant feeding and molding, with proper care, Baron tomatoes will delight you with abundant fruiting.
4. Tomato Black gourmet. Tomatoes ripen 5 months after sowing the seeds. The fruits are perfectly round and have a glossy black color. For its small size and spectacular appearance, Gourmet is in demand by housewives when preparing salads.

6. Tomatoes Black elephant. A low-growing crop suitable for growing in greenhouses. Glossy flattened fruits ripen within 3 months after planting. The pulp is juicy and sweet. However, due to its thin skin, the "black elephant" is not suitable for curling. It is eaten only fresh and added to various dishes.
7. Tomatoes Black Russian. Sprawling tall bushes with round chocolate-colored fruits. Although this species was first bred in England, it got its name thanks to Russian breeders who improved the characteristics of the vegetable. Due to their large size, Russian tomatoes need pinching and garter. Honey-sweet vegetables can be stored well and can withstand long-term transportation.
8. Black Crimea. Although the vegetable was bred on a warm peninsula, it can be grown in almost all regions of our country. In the photo, this is a large, light brown, round fruit. However, ripe vegetables often have a rich burgundy color. Black Crimea is popular among gardeners for its good yield and high disease resistance.
9. Tomatoes Black bunch. These small vegetables look like a bunch of currants. The early ripe variety was bred by Russian breeders who crossed domestic fruits with Chilean wild tomatoes, which is why the vegetables have a specific taste.
10. Tomatoes Black pineapple. An unusually beautiful brown-green vegetable with an amazing pattern on the cut, similar to the color of pineapple. Fruits can reach a weight of 500 g. The vegetable was bred by breeders not so long ago, but has already been appreciated by gardeners all over the world.

Most dark-fruited varieties have a fairly detailed description. Often on the seed packaging there are recommendations for the care and cultivation of these crops. To get a good harvest, experienced gardeners are advised to grow vegetables in the ground, where previously grown zucchini, cauliflower, cucumbers, carrots or greens.
