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.

Like all tomato cultivars, this is edible raw and cooked. Tomatoes are one of the most widely used fruits in the world, especially in stews, as cold (ketchup) and hot sauces, and are even used sometimes in jam, as juice (e.g. sangrita) and in cocktails (Bloody Mary). As tomato paste they are used as thickeners and seasonings. Especially their content of lycopene (only in red tomatoes) and many other vitamins makes them valuable food plants.
