Tomato History has origins traced back to the early Aztecs around 700 A.D; therefore, it is believed that the tomato is native to the Americas. It was not until around the 16th century that Europeans were introduced to this fruit when the early explorers set sail to discover new lands.

Throughout Southern Europe, the tomato was quickly accepted into the kitchen, yet as it moved north, more resistance was apparent. The British, for example, admired the tomato for its beauty but believed it was poisonous due to its relationship with the nightshade and the appearance of a wolf peach.

Today, tomatoes are the most commonly cultivated fresh produce, with a volume of nearly 190 million metric tonnes per year!
