Its deep crimson interior and bright skin combination give it its distinctive color. It was one of the first of the darker color group of tomatoes sometimes described as “blacks.
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange was the first seed company to offer Cherokee Purple, which was released in limited quantity in 1993. The Cherokee Purple has become a popular “heirloom” variety.
Cherokee Purple tomatoes are “stick tomatoes. They are also notable for their dense, juicy texture, with tiny seed cells irregularly scattered through the flesh. The relatively dark interior color is enhanced by the seeds’ tendency to be surrounded by green gel. In 1995, a skin color mutation of Cherokee Purple emerged in Craig LeHoullier’s garden in North Carolina. It was called Cherokee Chocolate, and the yellow skin gives the variety a brownish mahogany hue.
The Cherokee Purple tomato is most available in summer and fall. This tomato is most delicious fresh and is often used in BLT sandwiches and salads. The Cherokee Purple can also be used in making pizza and pasta sauces.
