Fruits with a dense skin are flat-rounded. As the initial stages mature, they have a pinkish-purple color, and by the end of ripening they are pink with a dark purple color at the stalk.

Note! Fruit weight reaches 210 grams.

The pulp of the amethyst treasure has a delicate reddish-pink color and a pronounced extraordinary tomato flavor with fruity notes that give a special piquancy. Thanks to its versatile properties, the tomato is suitable for many different dishes. The fruits can be used both for slicing salads and for preserving.

Interesting. Due to the dense skin, the fruits are not prone to cracking. This tomato has an unusual color not only outside, but also inside: bright deep red at the edges and pinkish in the middle.
