Did you know that the tomato has existed for thousands of years? This well known vegetable originates from the Andes Mountains in South America. The Mayans and the Aztecs were the first people to cultivate tomatoes. Back then, tomatoes were not as full and large as those we have today. At that time, tomatoes were the size of a berry. The Spanish took tomatoes with them and distributed them across the whole world. Due to various hybrids, tomatoes kept getting larger until the fruit took on the size and colour we know today.
Enjoy with a few slices of mozzarella, with delicious shrimps, or in a fresh salad. Tomatoes are incredibly versatile and can be eaten in many different ways. Not only are they tasty, they are very healthy too. As it happens, tomatoes are rich in lycopenes. Various studies show that lycopenes have a preventative effect against cancer.
