A multicolored elongated cocktail tomato with changing hues, from lavender and purple to orange-red with mauve stripes, a real gem!

What I love about Brad Atomic is the spectacular transformation of its colors as the fruits ripen. Its elongated fruits change from lavender and purple to green, then to orange-red with mauve stripes caused by anthocyanins. Their mild, sweet flavor is accompanied by subtle acidity and delicate aromas. With their good storage qualities and the plant’s generous production, these tomatoes are as enjoyable to grow as they are to eat.

Developed by Brad Gates, this indeterminate variety also stands out for its wispy foliage. It brings a beautiful diversity of shapes and colors to the garden.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
