With spring crop planting season quickly approaching I’m going through a ton of growing tips videos and articles and I came across these GMO purple tomatoes mentioned by several sources.

While GMO is usually associated with industrial farms and possible health risks due to chemicals used for high yields and disease resistance, these tomatoes are modified for higher health value, the purple color from the snap dragon flower, and are marketed direct to home gardeners. I haven’t done a ton of research but any negativity I found was just over the admitted “GMO” stigma. There wasn’t really anything directly alarmist. It’s kind of unheard of for seeds to go directly from the lab to home gardener and that's where the buzz is mostly at.
Anyhow, I decided to pull the trigger on the seeds and I’ll post here more information on my growing and quality experience.
