    Tomatoes originated in South America and were first domesticated in Mexico. The earliest description of tomatoes in Europe was in Italy in 1554, where they were known as "pomidoro" or "apple of gold". By the late 1500s, tomatoes were being grown in the gardens of several European countries, though they were still considered a novelty.

    when it was called
    'pomid'oro" or'apple of
    gold'. This means that a yellow
    type of tomato was the first one known at Europe. Before the end of the
    sixteenth
    century, tomatoes
    were being
    growing in the
    gardens of England'
    spain, ltaly, France and the countries
    of mid-Europe.
    But it were considered
    a sort of curiosity.
    By the mid-1700's,
    people in several countries
    in Europe
    were using the tomato for food and the first
    person to
    grow it in the United
    States was Thomas Jefferson,
    in 1781 . But many
    people consider the tomato
    to be
    poisonous. ltwasn't until about 1900 that it became
