Scientific Binomial Name: Solanum lycopersicum

Yellow Teardrop tomatoes are small in size and somewhat pear-shaped with a sweet flavor.


Selection Information


Usage: Use in salads, sandwiches, salsa, chili, stews, casseroles, stuffed or broiled.

Selection: Good-quality Yellow Teardrop tomatoes will be firm, smooth-skinned and be entirely yellow in color with an occasional green blush. Tomatoes that are partially green will ripen if left at room temperature.
