The Distinctive Flavour and Texture of Tamarillo Fruit!

Tamarillo, often called the 'tomato fruit', is an egg-shaped fruit with vibrant and glossy skin that ranges from red to orange. Inside, the flesh is firm, juicy and layered with larger seeds than traditional tomatoes. This exotic fruit boasts a unique flavour profile that is both tangy and sweet, with a hint of tropical zest. Tamarillos carry higher levels of vitamins, iron and antioxidants compared to regular tomatoes, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. Whether eaten raw or cooked, they bring a burst of bold flavour and vibrant colour to any culinary creation.

Cooking Suggestions: How to Cook Tamarillos

  • Roasting: Roast or grill halved tamarillos to enhance their natural sweetness.
  • Poaching: Poach in sugar syrup with spices for a dessert topping.
  • Blending: Blend into sauces or chutneys for meats and poultry.
  • Mixing: Use in soups or stews for a tangy depth of flavour.
  • Mashing: Mash into a puree for smoothies or cocktails.

Serving Suggestions: What to Pair Tamarillos With

  • Cheeses: Pair with soft cheeses like ricotta or cream cheese.
  • Vegetables: Combine with roasted vegetables for a vibrant side dish.
  • Fish & Poultry: Serve alongside grilled fish or chicken for a tropical twist.
