- Tomatoes originated in the South American Andes around the area of modern day Peru and were first used as a food by the Aztec's in Southern Mexico.
- This is one of those “vegetables” that is technically a fruit since it has seeds and grows from a flowering plant.
- The biggest tomato fight in the world happens each year in the small Spanish town of Buñol. The festival called La Tomatina, involves some 40,000 people throwing 150,000 tomatoes at each other.
- That sounds like so much fun!
