Overview
Ananas Noire, also sold as Black Pineapple, is a large main-season tomato with smooth fruit around a pound and a half whose skin blends green, yellow, and purple. Cut it open and the flesh is bright green shot through with deep red streaks, making it one of the showiest slicers on a platter. Stake or cage the plant and harvest when the fruit softens slightly, since the color gives little warning of ripeness.
