Tamarillo (Tree Tomato) Plant (Cyphomandra crassicaulis) – VERY EASY TO GROW!!!
The Tree Tomato) plant, also known as Tamarillo, is a small, fast-growing tree or shrub native to the Andes Mountains in South America. It produces edible, egg-shaped fruit reminiscent of plum tomatoes that tastes like custardy guava. Considered a delicacy in South America, the sweet, tangy fruit have a firm texture and can be eaten raw, cooked, or used in jellies, sauces, and desserts. The fruit holds well, and can be harvested from late summer into the winter. With its large, heart-shaped dark green and glossy leaves, the Tree Tomato plant is easy-to-grow and will start producing fruit very quickly if given full sun.
With an exquisite mix of tangy and sweet, tamarillos are very versatile and can sit equally well in savoury or sugary dishes. Tamarillos originate in South America. Tamarillos are excellent for making chutney, sauce, relish and jelly because of the pectin they contain. Many people enjoy them raw, simply slicing them in half and using a teaspoon to scoop out the tangy insides.
Tamarillos are low in calories. They have a substantial amount of dietary fibre and contain potassium, vitamins A, C, E and pro-vitamin A, along with antioxidants.
