Is it a green tomato with red stripes or a red tomato with green stripes? What am I referring to? It's 'Girl Girl's Weird Thing' tomato!

When I first spotted this tomato, I was looking for something fun, eye-catching and large. The gorgeous colours immediately caught my eye and the unusual name sealed the deal! This tomato did not disappoint.

Originally discovered as a variant of 'Green Zebra' by Jessica Hughes in Canada, she ended up naming it 'Girl Girl's Weird Thing' after her dog "Girl Girl" who would steal tomatoes and eat them.

The flesh of this tomato is reddish-purple. It makes a wonderful slicing tomato, is great on a sandwich, and is also delicious eaten raw. The flavour is sweet, yet mild. Fruits grow to a size of approximately 14 oz, coming in just under 1 pound.
