This smaller (cocktail) tomato is a bush variety. It originates from Thailand as an heirloom variety. the fruits grow the size of small eggs or ping pong balls and are beautiful pearl pink. The fruits look like traditional pink Thai eggs that are preserved in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls. Once preserved the eggshell turns pink and the egg white turns brown.
