Contrary to the green colour, the Green Zebra tastes, like many other types of tomatoes, pleasantly sweet.
The entire plant of the ‘Elberta Girl’ tomato cultivar is covered with a fine, silvery fluff. The leaves are somewhat curly, the fruits are flamed. They are not very sweet, the flesh is of a rather mealy-soft consistency.
Blauwschokker peas are mainly used as dry peas, less often fresh, although they taste sweet as long as they are harvested young and tender and are eaten immediately.
The fruit ripens throughout the summer and into the autumn. It has a firm flesh and is mainly processed into tomato paste and canned food.
Indigo rose tomato belongs to the rather small-fruited varieties and can be eaten directly from the shrub.
The deep red colour of the Red Velvet Okras gets lost during cooking, the fruits turn as green as ordinary okra pods when heated.
The purple calabash tastes sweet and very aromatic, as one would otherwise expect from the much smaller cocktail tomatoes.
The up to 4 cm large galls on the cobs are edible young (before the black spores form) and are considered a delicacy in Mexico.
