Tamarillo

Tamarillo
Tamarillo is distinguished by its elongated, oval shape and smooth skin. Visually, it closely resembles a tomato—hence its nicknames like “tree tomato” or “fruit tomato.” Tamarillo belongs to the same family as tomatoes, the nightshades. The fruit’s flavor is sweet with a slight tanginess. Beyond its tomato-like appearance and taste, tamarillo has fruity notes reminiscent of mango and passion fruit.
