Tomatoes are a common vegetable (technically a fruit) grown in home gardens and used in cooking all over the world. Tomatoes can be used in salads, sandwiches, pasta sauces, and stews because of their juicy texture and sweet flavour. Initially considered poisonous by Europeans, they eventually became a popular food crop. There are thousands of tomato varieties grown in gardens and farms around the world, ranging from cherry tomatoes to beefsteak tomatoes.
