Geography/History
Among the smallest of cherry tomatoes and of the species Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium, Yellow currant tomato plants produce large numbers of tiny fruits on prolific hardy vines. Actually wild tomatoes, currant tomatoes have changed very little in appearance since their origin. Food historians claim that it was from the coastal highlands of western South America that the tomato's worldly journey began, emigrating from South America to Central America on its way to Mexico where salsa embraced it emphatically and deliciously.
