The Beta Tomato is uncommonly abundant in the antioxidant beta-carotene, making it the perfect complement to The Purple Tomato™ in your garden. Round out your antioxidant salad with this sweet, nutritious cherry-type tomato.

Fruit forms green, then turns orange in the skin and flesh. Ready for harvest when fruit comes off the vine with a gentle twist. The Beta Tomato continues to ripen off the vine and are best eaten when the fruit gives slightly with a gentle squeeze.

  • Each packet contains 10 seeds 
  • The Beta Tomato is bred to produce beta carotene in the skin and flesh, making the entire fruit more nutritious. 
  • The Beta Tomato has a delicious, sweet flavor and the orange color elevates any dish. Makes a great complement to our purple varieties for an antioxidant rainbow at your dinner table. 
  • High Beta-carotene is correlated with high levels of beta-ionine, an aromatic compound that makes super tasty tomatoes.
