The Green Zebra tomato is a unique and eye catching variety of heirloom tomato known for its distinctive green and yellow striped appearance. Belonging to the Solanaceae family, this tomato stands out not only for its striking look, but also for its tangy, slightly sweet flavor, making it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. They mature to a golden yellow color with dark green stripes and grow around 2 inches in diameter.

This tomato thrives in warm, sunny conditions; it requires at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day and well drained soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering is crucial, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Gardeners often start Green Zebra tomatoes from seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date; transplanting them outside when the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

In the kitchen, Green Zebra tomatoes are versatile; their firm texture and zesty flavor make them an excellent choice for salads, salsas, and garnishes. They add a vibrant color and a burst of flavor to any dish. Additionally, their unique appearance can elevate the visual appeal of culinary creations, making them a popular choice for restaurants and home cooks aiming to impress.

How to Save Seeds 

Tomatoes are self pollinating, so separate by 50ft is sufficient. Harvest tomatoes when ripe and you can even let them set for a week or so before saving seeds. Once you are ready to harvest simply cut in half scoop out seeds and pulp into a mason jar of water for fermenting. Then seal jar with a lid and place in and warm place out of direct sunlight. After 5 to 7 days of fermenting pour out seeds floating on top of the water along with mold and then pour rest of the good seeds, on the bottom, over a fine mess strainer to catch them. Dry well in fine mesh or paper towels but turn often so they don't stick to paper.
