Where Does Tomato Fruit Come From?

Tomatoes have been known to the peoples of the South and Central Americas for many centuries and they came to Europe with the Spanish conquistadores. Starting with the 16th century, tomato plants started spreading all over the world and today you can hardly find a vegetable garden without some variety of them.

It's believed that the truly original plants were similar to cherry tomatoes and were actually yellow. However, they've existed for too long and there are too many species of them to be sure of anything in regards to the tomato fruit history.

One thing we can be sure, though, is that tomatoes are a fruit, a berry to be exact. Although, people mostly consider them to be vegetables.

Tomatoes are a great food that should be welcome on anyone's table. They are full of nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber, so they are god for you. They also have a great number of culinary uses, so everyone can enjoy them in some way, be it fresh tomato juice, marinated sun dried tomatoes, or a paste to flavor your soups and pasta sauces with.

What Are Sun Dried Tomatoes?

Tomatoes are amazing, but they have one huge disadvantage. They don't keep well when fresh. At best, you can store them for a few days in your fridge. So, it's hard to enjoy them when they are out of season.

Sun dried tomatoes solve this problem. Unlike their fresh counterparts, they keep extremely well, and drying doesn't diminish their nutritional value much.

It's impossible to say when exactly dried tomatoes appeared first, but the important thing is that they exist today. You can enjoy them during any season as Organic Sun Dried Tomatoes from Food To Live are available all year round. If stored properly, they would keep for many months, so you can buy them in bulk.
