Sweet like you said and incredibly crunchy. By taste and texture alone, I could hardly tell I was eating a tomato. Worked wonders in a simple salad and as a sandwich topping due to their crunchiness. But yeah, the sweetness definitely needs to be taken into consideration in when using. A local shop had some of these the other day and they were indeed interesting.

Fits their description of the flavor too, as a semi-sweet, almost Concord grape-ish taste.

I don't know much about tomatoes either but I remember from surfing around Burpee's site about a month ago and thinking how cool one variety, named Tomato Red Lightning Hybrid, looked. Which they say is derived from Red Zebra. Looks like Red Zebra or Green Zebra, which I think that’s what tigerella is also known as.
