Its small fruits are edible and incredibly tasty. It is commonly grown in gardens as an heirloom tomato although it is considered to be wild rather than domesticated as is the commonly cultivated tomato species Solanum lycopersicum. Its genome was recently sequenced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso check out the Red Currant Tomato here \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/685006077\/wild-currant-tomato-solanum\" target=\"_blank\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/685006077\/wild-currant-tomato-solanum\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the wild Galapagos Island Tomato, Solanum cheesmaniae, from the galapagos Island.

Due to agricultural development, the wild currant tomato is becoming less prevalent in the native range of northern Peru and southern Ecuador. In addition, seed collection is hampered by issues with the Convention on Biological Diversity.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jfstradetools","offers":[{"title":"10 Fresh Seeds","offer_id":50013781557496,"sku":"2CK20DR","price":1.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/0995\/6344\/files\/Output_77.jpg?v=1784341695","url":"https:\/\/jfstradetools.com\/products\/golden-currant-tomato-solanum-pimpinellifolium-wild-tomato-seeds-juicy-flavorful-ancestor-of-garden-tomato-world39s-smallest-tomato","provider":"Jfstradetools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
