tomato
The tomato (see pronunciation) is the edible, often red berry-type fruit of the nightshade ''Solanum lycopersicum'',〔〔 commonly known as a tomato plant. The tomato is consumed in diverse ways, including raw, as an ingredient in many dishes, sauces, salads, and drinks. The English word tomato comes from the Spanish word, tomate, derived Nahuatl (Aztec language) word, tomatl. It first appeared in print in 1595.〔
The tomato belongs to the nightshade family, ''Solanaceae''.〔〔 The species originated in the South American Andes〔 and its use as a food originated in Mexico, and spread throughout the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Its many varieties are now widely grown, sometimes in greenhouses in cooler climates.

==History==
The tomato is native to western South America and Central America.〔 Native versions were small, like cherry tomatoes, and most likely yellow rather than red. A member of the deadly nightshade family, tomatoes were erroneously thought to be poisonous by Europeans who were suspicious of their bright, shiny fruit. (The leaves are in fact poisonous, although the fruit is not.)
