i hate this fruit. lol. Tastes like a tomato but just worse in every way. They sell them at hispanic markets here. Maybe youd enjoy it.

IF i was gonna grow a sweet solanum species id probably do lulo or one of the good tasting ground cherries (which allegedly exist)

They have quite a few types. I grew one of the rarer ones a few years ago. Is was not bad. I will grow them again when I have a proper greenhouse.

Wonder how they would be in a sauce, or freeze dried for use is dishes.

Buying them in the grocery stores is the same as buying figs there. Picked before ripe, that’s why it’s not tasty. Also in the video it says your supposed to blanch them in boiling hot water to peel off the skin because the skin tastes terrible.

yes people usually just eat them scooping out the center, though i havent heard of blanching them, . Maybe true but it tasted so much like a tomato but like in a bad way. Cant see that part being massively different. it may be a cultivar thing idk.

Just thought about it. My frog avatar I use for most things was on a tree tomato. I need to grow that one again.

Tree tomato. Related but different. Interesting plants/small trees

So a non-tomato nightshade? That's pretty cool. It does look more pepper-like
