15+ Seeds/Packet

The Blue Pear Tomato is a rare and visually striking heirloom variety that turns heads in both the garden and the kitchen. With its unique pear shape and deep indigo shoulders that fade into rich red as it ripens, this tomato is as ornamental as it is flavorful. Originally developed from heirloom breeding lines that emphasize anthocyanin-rich tomatoes, the Blue Pear offers beauty, nutrition, and superb culinary versatility.

Culinary Benefits:
The flavor of the Blue Pear Tomato is balanced and rich, with a pleasant sweetness and low acidity. Its firm texture and meaty flesh make it a wonderful all-purpose tomato, perfect for both fresh and cooked dishes. The thick skin holds up well during roasting and grilling, while the juicy interior makes it ideal for slicing into salads.

Perfect For:
Showcase its color and taste in a Roasted Blue Pear Tomato & Garlic Pasta:

• Halve ripe Blue Pears and roast them with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs until caramelized.

• Toss with al dente pasta, a splash of the roasting juices, and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

• The deep indigo-red tones make for a dish as beautiful as it is delicious.

These tomatoes also work beautifully for fresh salsa, charcuterie platters, or even slow-cooked sauces, where their natural sweetness develops further.

Growth and Harvest:
Blue Pear Tomatoes are indeterminate plants that produce medium-sized, pear-shaped fruits throughout the season. The anthocyanin pigmentation in the skin gives the shoulders their dramatic blue-black coloring, which intensifies in full sun. Fruits ripen from indigo and green to deep red, creating a two-tone effect that’s both striking and flavorful.

Why Choose Our Seeds:
We offer high-quality, non-GMO heirloom tomato seeds chosen for flavor, productivity, and uniqueness. The Blue Pear Tomato brings a rare touch of novelty to the garden while delivering dependable yields and exceptional culinary uses.

Growing Tips:
Plant in full sun to encourage maximum color development in the indigo shoulders. Provide rich, well-draining soil and consistent watering. Support vines with strong cages or stakes to handle steady fruit production. Harvest when the bottom of the fruit has ripened to a rich red, even if the shoulders remain blue-black.

The Blue Pear Tomato is a rare heirloom treasure that combines ornamental beauty with gourmet flavor — a true standout variety for both gardeners and cooks.
