An ancient heirloom recovered from seeds donated by a couple living in Kingston, Tennessee. Originally from Spain, where it is still used as a staple in many dishes. Fruits are perhaps the best we've seen for stuffing. Round, apple or tomato-shaped, with a flattened base and a thick, delicious skin. Use it fresh like a bell, pickled, canned, or dried for paprika!
