All the descriptors in the specialty produce story indicate that Darkloom is a hybrid or at best a stabilized variety and now an OP rather than a tomato that could be considered an "heirloom". All the variety of colors possible gives its background away. And then the story indicated Darkloom is "low acid" which tells me the growers don't know low acid from a hole in the ground. Higher sugar content maybe but "low acid"? The photos do have the antho look about them rather than a black tomato background...but that may just be the lighting or photoshop effects. Some of you guys try them out and report please.
