Description
Solanum lycopersicum
So cool! Bell pepper shaped with thick walls and hollow centers—perfect for stuffing!
INDETERMINATE. Beautiful yellow-streaked red-skinned tomatoes resemble bell peppers. They have thick, blocky walls with very little pulp in the center. As their name suggests, they make great stuffers indeed, but they’re also wonderful in salsas and sauces where you don’t want to deal with a lot of juice!
Tomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well.
