Pumpkin tomato
A Pumpkin tomato is a large variety of tomato that has been cultivated since at least the early 1800s and thought to have originated in Peru and Northern Chile.[1]
Pumpkin tomatoes range in size from an apple up to the size of a pumpkin (hence the name), and can range from being spherical to slightly oblong in shape. The more oblong ones often share characteristics with Marmande tomatoes.[2] They are occasionally mistaken for peppers due to their size and the characteristic nitrogen stripes which cause the characteristic "pumpkin" ribs.
