“Tomatoes”
Pronounced Tuh-MAY-toh or Tuh-MAH-to this fruit is part of the nightshade family (like potatoes and eggplants), but they are served and prepared as a vegetable, which is why most people consider them a vegetable and not a fruit. They are extremely nutritious containing a large amount of vitamins C, A & K plus they have no cholesterol & very low fat.
More than 125 tons of tomatoes are produced in the world today with China being the largest producer, followed by the United States and Turkey.
Apparently it was the Aztecs who firstly domesticated this plant, they called it “Xitomatl”; and then Spaniards spread it around the world in the XV & XVI centuries.
