Overview
Mavras is an Enza Zaden bell hybrid from 1995 with glossy, blocky fruit in a deep purple that reads nearly black. The walls are thick and the plant is a good yielder with medium vigor. It is one of the earliest sweet bells, around 75 days from transplant, and it resists tobacco mosaic virus races 0, 1 and 2. The dark color is at the immature stage, so pick purple for salads where the contrast is dramatic; the fruit are sweet and crisp raw.
