Found this at the grocery
I couldn't resist getting this one tomato because of the stripes. It was in a bunch of pink hot house large slicers. My question is whether or not anyone else has had these show up?
It is obviously from a "hot house" and was picked green and then gassed. It has a pink blushing at the blossom end and typical hot house features around the stem. I intend to allow it to finish ripening on the counter and then harvesting seeds. I'll check germination and then make a decision on sharing some. Let me know if you've seen this before and any observations you made. I'm wondering whether or not the stripes will fade out as it ripens. I feel it's somewhat unique and unusual for this large size to have stripes and be offered with other non-striped beefsteaks without stripes.
