The tomato is the fruit of the Solanum lycopersicum, a herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family that has its origin in the area of ??Central America and Mexico, more specifically in the Andean region between southern Colombia and northern Chile. Hernán Cortés is supposed to have been the first to bring tomatoes to Europe in the 16th century. Once its culinary virtues were discovered, it was soon spread by the Spanish through all their colonies, reaching the Philippines and from there spreading to all of Asia.
Nowadays it is not difficult to obtain tomato seeds of all kinds of varieties and origins, which shows the enormous popularity of this fruit in kitchens around the world. Star of many salads, it is also an indispensable ingredient for many stews and stir-fries, and of course to make the famous gazpacho. Rich in carbohydrates, vitamins B1, B2, B5 and C or potassium and magnesium, tomato also contains carotenoids and antioxidants, and only 18kcal per 100g!
It is an easy plant to grow, with moderate water and nutritional needs, preferring temperatures between 15 and 25ºC, although it is a particularly heat resistant vegetable. Normally, tomato seeds are sown throughout the spring, with the harvest beginning about 10-12 weeks later, and is staggered throughout the summer as the fruits mature.
