Litchi Tomato, scientifically known as Solanum sisymbriifolium, is a unique and intriguing member of the tomato family. It is an annual plant that can reach heights of up to 3 meters, creating a striking visual display in the garden. The plant is covered in sharp thorns, making it necessary to wear protective clothing when handling it. The flowers of the Litchi Tomato are about 5 cm wide and feature ruffled petals in shades of white and soft purple, with bright yellow anthers at the center. These blooms attract pollinators and add to the plant's ornamental value. The fruit emerges from a husk similar to that of a tomatillo. It starts green, then turns orange, and finally deep red when ripe. The smooth, sturdy skin wraps around juicy, deep orange flesh with numerous seeds. The taste is often described as a combination of sweet and tart, reminiscent of cherries or berries, with a hint of lychee.
