The tomato is full of misunderstandings before it becomes a gourmet. Over the past few centuries, this plant from South America has spread throughout the world and is now one of the best food ingredients and one of the most popular vegetables (although many times tomatoes are considered a fruit). The selection process of tomatoes always tries to cultivate tomatoes into very nutritious, full of vitamins A, C, E, antioxidants and more.
The exact origin of the tomato is still unknown. It is thought to have evolved millions of years from the South American prehistoric plant Nightshade (along with potatoes, tobacco and peppers), slowly moving to the north of the Americas, to Central America, Mexico and northern Costa Rica. Domestication. Before Columbus discovered the American continent, this piece had already had several prosperous societies. In 500 BC, the Aztecs civilization succeeded in taming tomatoes and making them their food. Since then, tomatoes have slowly spread throughout Central and South America, some have been used as food, but others have been used as psychedelic (this is the reason for many misunderstandings in the future).
The first contact of Europeans with tomatoes may be Christopher Columbus in 1493, but it was the Spanish conquisturist Hernan Cortes who first saw the potential of this plant when they looted Aztec's TenochtÃtlan and took it The seeds are brought back to Europe. The tomato is well adapted to the warm Mediterranean climate and the Spanish government has begun to encourage its production in Europe and its distant colonies. Tomatoes began producing in Spain in the 1540s and became a common food in the early 17th century. Other European countries did not immediately accept tomatoes.
For example, despite the Italian nobility, scientists discovered tomatoes starting in 1548 (this is now the famous tomato and ketchup industry), and they used it only as a tabletop decorative fruit until the early 17th and early 18th centuries. They cherish the beauty of tomatoes and selectively breed them to produce tomatoes of many colors and shapes. Tomato received the same fate in the UK, when it was introduced in 1597, but it is still considered unhealthy, toxic, and unsuitable for consumption. This situation began to change in the mid-18th century due to advances in Spanish and Italian tomato breeding techniques.
It was not until the early 19th century that tomatoes were brought to Asia. The first attempt by the British Ambassador to Syria, John Barker, was planted. By the mid-19th century, tomatoes were accepted in Asia and began to be widely planted in Syria, Iran and China.
Modern commercial planting of tomatoes began with Alexander W. Livingston, an American botanist and scientist dedicated his life to a large amount of time to upgrade tomato selection and make it the most common form we have today. The Paragon variety he cultivated in the 1880s was immediately successful in North America, and the tomato industry began to gain public acceptance.
