Tomatoes trace their origins to the wild Andes of South America, where their ancient ancestors grew as small berries. The first to taste them were ancient civilizations that appreciated their flavor and benefits.
Through Central America, tomatoes made their way to Europe, where they were initially considered ornamental plants. It wasn’t until the 18th–19th centuries that they conquered global cuisine and became one of the most popular vegetables.
Today, tomatoes are a symbol of culinary unity, reminding us of the richness and diversity of our history! 🌍🍴
