I really love tomatoes. As a kid, I would eat just tomato sandwiches.
I don't share the love, but I can understand! haha. Tomatos are consumed in so many ways, raw, in sauces, salads, etc. I myself enjoy ketchup and pizza sauce quite a bit lol.
Those are very yummy! Has the tomato been around since the beginning of time?
The Spanish actually discovered it during the 16th century
I didn't realize that. Do they grow better in a certain location or a certain type of weather?
It originated in south america, so that is the best place for growing! when the Spanish discovered it it was during contact with the aztec people.
I've tried to grow them myself a time or two but never have very much luck. There are so many varieties in the grocery store. I never know what kind to buy.
a vegetable ingredient or side dish.
Numerous varieties of the tomato plant are widely grown in temperate climates across the world, with greenhouses allowing for the production of tomatoes throughout all seasons of the year. Tomato plants typically grow to in height. They are vines that have a weak stem that sprawls and typically needs support.

Determinate, or bush, plants are annuals that stop growing at a certain height and produce a crop all at once

After returning to Earth and sharing his experiences to an audience, Skvortsov said "I love spicy food, I make really hot chili sauce myself. I missed it badly. I finished off all the spicy ketchup stock on the ISS and shocked everyone by making and eating wasabi sandwiches. That's my fuel, as good as a rocket's".
