TAMARILLO

Tamarillo also known as the “tree tomato,” is a small, oval-shaped fruit native to the Andes in South America. The fruit has a smooth, thin skin that can range in color from yellow to orange to red or purple, depending on the variety. The flesh inside is typically yellow to orange, and it contains a number of small, edible seeds.

Tamarillos are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, and contain several antioxidants, making them a nutritious fruit. They are often used in both savory and sweet dishes. In cooking, tamarillo can be added to salsas, sauces, chutneys, or used as a topping for meats and salads. It can also be used in smoothies, juices, jams, or desserts.
