The currant tomato is not grown commercially, although occasionally seen in gardens. Because of its resistance to several diseases it has been used in breeding more disease resistant tomato varieties. The plant is more slender in growth than tomato. The fruit is borne in rather long, loose racimes. Individual fruits are small, generally not more than 1/3-inch in diameter, with smooth skin.
Production in the U.S.: None commercially. As novelty in some home gardens.
Use: Fruit edible. Sometimes used as food novelty, either fresh or cooked.
Part consumed: whole fruit.
