Tomato the Green Zebra grows to approximately 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter and has a round, globe-like shape.

Its flesh has a classic tomato flavor and will be tangy and astringent when young then take on a balanced sweet-tart flavor once fully ripe.
The Green Zebra tomato can be utilized raw or cooked in a plethora of recipes where traditional tomatoes are used.

They can be sautéed, slow-roasted or breaded and fried. The meat of the Green Zebra is hearty and will not break down when cooked.

The Green Zebra tomato could also be called "The Green Bay Packers" tomato as it is often rumored to be colored for Wisconsin's NFL team with its green and gold stripes.
The Green Zebra tomato was first developed in Everett, Washington in 1983 by Tom Wagner. As a plant breeder, Wagner had long been intrigued by the evergreen tomato. He set out to develop a striped green variety that unlike most green tomatoes would be resistant to cracking. To achieve this new tomato variety Wagner crossed 4 heirloom varieties, one of which was the Evergreen tomato. He named the tomato Green Zebra, a nod to the tomatoes' unique striping. It was featured in Wagner's Tater-Mater Seed Catalog 1993 through 1996 during which time it achieved commercial success in both the gardening and culinary world. Today they are grown and distributed predominately out of Mexico and California.
