Garden Peach Tomatoes are a cultivar of tomato, native South American fruit mainly from Peru, where they are known as Cucunas. Its small, bright yellow fruit is the standard globe shape of tomato. With its yellow coloring, blushing vaguely pink mottling when very ripe, and fuzzy skin, it resembles a peach. This cultivar is also extremely prolific. It is rich in Iron and Vitamin B5. The plant grows naturally between 200 and 1,000 meters from Colombia to Ecuador and Perú.

Studies have shown they may lower cholesterol when eaten or drinking its juice regularly, similar to oranges or orange juice, but with a greater effect^{[citation needed]}.
