Trivia

  • In Italian, tomatoes are called ‘pomodoro’ which literally translates to golden apple.
  • The discovery that tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable was not a scientific one. It happened when the U.S listed tomato as a vegetable for tax purposes.

There is not one mention of tomatoes either in the works of Shakespeare or the Bible.
