Tamarillo

Tamarillos are also known as tree tomatoes. This nickname is no coincidence: its red colour and oval shape are reminiscent of a tomato. Both are also part of the same crop family, originally from the Andes Mountains. This makes the tamarillo technically a fruiting vegetable.

Leiva Fresh only supplies the red variety. Inside, the tamarillo is orange, with small (edible) seeds in the flesh. The taste is sweet and intense, but avoid the bitter peel which does not taste very nice.

Transport and storage: Transporting and storing tamarillos is best done at a temperature of 10˚C.

Shop: Tamarillos can be sold on the regular fresh produce shelf.
