History

Characteristics

The Green Zebra is an indeterminate tomato, meaning it continues to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season until killed by frost or disease. It is also a heirloom tomato, a term used to describe varieties of tomatoes that have been passed down through generations of a family or community.

Culinary uses

Green Zebra tomatoes are versatile in the kitchen. They can be used in salads, salsas, and sauces, or simply eaten fresh. Their unique color and flavor also make them a popular choice for gourmet dishes.
