Tomato Blue Betty Seeds

€4.50

Solanum lycopersicum

Tomato Blue Betty is a striking indeterminate (vining) beefsteak variety producing deep blue to almost black fruits with vivid red flesh. Among the most unusual tomatoes you’ll grow, each fruit typically weighs 200–300 g and can hang on the vine for an extended period as it fully ripens.

The dense, juicy flesh has an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity, making Blue Betty ideal for slicing, fresh eating, and show-stopping summer dishes. A real conversation piece in the garden and on the plate.

Average number of seeds: 14

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

    During tomato season, we eat tomatoes morning, noon, and night, as they bring us so much joy after months of nurturing. We eat them like sweets, in pasta dishes, or as part of a simple tomato salad with flaky sea salt.

    We also preserve tomatoes in various ways for the year ahead, making sauces, jams, and chutneys. Fresh tomatoes can be frozen whole for later use in pasta sauces, stews, soups, and casseroles.
