Tamarillo
Tamarillos are also known as tree tomatoes. This nickname is no coincidence: their red colour and oval shape are reminiscent of a tomato.
Both are also part of the same family of crops, native to the Andes. This makes the tamarillo technically a fruit vegetable.
Inside, the tamarillo is orange, with small (edible) seeds in the pulp. The flavour is sweet and intense, but avoid the bitter peel which doesn't taste very pleasant.
AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended temperature around 10° C.
