Looking for something a little different from your usual cherry tomatoes? The Green Grape Tomato is a rare organic variety that will surprise and delight with its clusters of tangy-sweet green fruits that ripen to a beautiful amber-green hue with a hint of gold blush. Unlike the common red or yellow cherries, these tomatoes hold onto their fresh green color even when ripe, making them a standout both in the garden and on the plate.

The flavor is bright, zesty, and complex, striking a perfect balance between sweet and tangy. Their small, bite-sized shape makes them irresistible for snacking, and their unique look always sparks conversation at garden parties and market tables.
