One of the oldest Tomatoes still in cultivation where this delight probably originated on the eastern slopes of the Andes. The humble tomato was introduced to Europe by the Spanish Conquistador in the 1500’s. As a member of the Nightshade family tomatoes were looked upon with trepidation but by the 19th century thankfully it’s new title of ‘Love Apple’ had stuck. We have found Yellow Pear to be particularly excellent in salads.
