WHY I LOVE THIS HEIRLOOM
WHY I LOVE THIS HEIRLOOM
YELLOW PEAR cherry tomatoes (also called a teardrop tomato) were first grown in Europe in 1805. It is an indeterminate type that produces an abundance of small, 3-4cm yellow fruits born in clusters on long vines. Their unusual shape and bright beautiful yellow colour make them a show stopper in any salad or roasted dish. Yellow pear tomatoes (and other yellow tomatoes) are believed to have a higher concentration of lutein, a xanthophyll which produces the yellow pigmentation in yellow tomatoes. Furthermore, according to the journal Acta Horticulturae, lutein is a crucial nutritional compound in the human diet shown to hinder age-related eye problems and other eye diseases.
