Have you grown an indigo tomato yet? For many of us, Midnight Snack Hybrid introduces a whole new look for tomatoes—rich, glossy violet to black coloring. But even more important, indigo tomatoes are packed with much higher levels of antioxidants, making them the absolute healthiest and most disease fighting varieties you can grow. Talk about a win-win!
This tomato turns black because it is high in anthocyanin pigments, the same pigment that turns blueberries (another antioxidant powerhouse) blue. Just 1½ inches in diameter and weighing half an ounce, these snack-size cherry tomatoes are nutritional powerhouses. What luck that they also taste so good, packed with meaty, juicy tomato tang.
And you will get plenty of opportunity to sample Midnight Snack, because the yields are huge on tall, wide, sprawling indeterminate plants that keep bearing heavily all summer long. Expect far more than 100 fruits per plant—Midnight Snack is more like a binge.
Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 3 to 4 feet apart. Wait for the fruits to begin turning purple and black to harvest—that's when the nutrition is at its peak.

Fun to grow 0 people found this helpfulFun to grow but the taste was not that great.

Wonderful! 0 people found this helpfulI grow only one or two cherry trees each season and for years my go to has been Sunchocola. This is my first season with Midnight Snack and it's a keeper! It does not ripen early here in Oregon but when it does it produces prodigious amounts of delicious scarlet/black tomatoes. Highly recdcomended!

LAST TOMATO STANDING 0 people found this helpfulSets tons of gorgeous, tasty fruits. Set these on your dinner table and you'll feel like a painter or some other kind of artist -- a gardening artist! My plants were full of fruits when the frost got them; if I had a plastic greenhouse for them, I would have had tomatoes in late September, north of Chicago! And I love the name... the healthiest midnight snack you'll ever enjoy.

Hardy 0 people found this helpfulNot as sweet as the sun-sugar, but is bright and has a nice amount of sugar. The thing that most impressed me is how resistant to bugs these seems to be. The tomatoes next to the midnight snack were covered in aphids, but the midnight snack needed almost no debugging attention. Additionally, all seeds germinated and turned in to healthy plants. The plants were very prolific and beautiful.

Stunningl Dark Purple Black 0 people found this helpfulI wish I could add a photo of my Midnight Snack Hybrid Cherry Tomato Seeds. They start green and become purple black with no red-orange-yellow showing at all. They have the most gorgeous solid dark coloring. Very happy with these seeds and I will buy them again. Stunning!

Was sent wrong seed 1 people found this helpfulCan't really review these midnight snack tomatoes because the seed package says midnight snack and I finally got some growing and they look like Roma Tomatoes. All fruit is elongated none are round like pictured. The ones I received and are growing are clearly not midnight snack. The fruit went from green to red and it's a soft red not a deep red like pictured and I'm doubtful they will darken like midnight snack. Really disappointed as I was super excited to get and grow these this year. They were the only ones I planted. I wouldn't have paid this price for 10 seeds for Roma tomatoes.

Favorite 2 people found this helpfulMy friend grew these. They were easy to grow and once I tasted them I was hooked! What a wonderful flavor indeed! A must try tomato! You must wait until the bottom turns red....that’s when they are ready to pick.

Flavor explosion 1 people found this helpfulMy friend grew these. They were ready to pick when the bottom turned red. The tops stayed black. They had such depth of flavor they easily became my favorite.
-
0 people found this helpfulThese grew really well until the nighttime temps went above 75. The best part is that the indigo color seems to confuse the mockingbirds, and they left most of them for me!

Midnight Snack is my favorite cherry tomato. 1 people found this helpfulMidnight Snack produced fruit into November—the last tomato growing. They took a little longer to start producing but they are larger and have great flavor.

Fantastic Cherry tomato! 1 people found this helpfulI am a Master Gardener in Central Illinois, and we grew these last year as a trial plant. They are fabulous! Cute, sweet, great tomato taste. They start out green (of course), turn black on the top (looks like someone poured paint on the tops and it ran down the sides - thus the “cute”), then when the bottoms turn red - YUM! No issues at all, other than I didn’t allow enough space - big vines, loaded with tomatoes. Need a big tomato cage for these prolific plants.

Holy Cow 0 people found this helpfulHad this plant last year. Only one as that was all I could keep up with. Production was great, taste was great, once you figure out when they are ripe. Everyone who tasted them wanted some to take home.
