Tomatoes





You say tomatoes... I say tomatos.


The world's smallest tomatoes.




The tomato is a fruit of  South America  and it was spread to the Philippines and the Mediterranean by the Spaniards.  I wonder what the Italians ate before they brought the tomatoes to Europe, umm?

“Solanun Lycopersicum”
(botanical name)




The tomato is rich in lycopene, an antioxidant, and prevents certain cancers.
