Tamarillo has shiny, red skins and green stems. These subtropical fruits are sometimes called tree tomatoes, but the comparison ends there. Native to South America, this egg-shaped fruit has a glossy outer skin that hides crimson red fruit that turns golden when cooked or heated. The orange-yellow flesh, studded with a swirl of edible dark red seeds, has the texture of a plum and is slightly tart but very flavorful. [www.QinSen.com]

When ripe, tamarillo should be fragrant and yield gently to palm pressure. Skins should be smooth, brilliantly colored for the variety and unblemished. [www.QinSen.com]
