The tomato is native to western South America and Central America. Native versions were small, like cherry tomatoes, and most likely yellow rather than red. While tomatoes are botanically berry type fruits, they are considered culinary vegetables. The tomato plant belongs to the nightshade family, which includes eggplants, peppers, and potatoes. Tomatoes were also thought to be poisonous by Europeans who were suspicious of their bright, shiny fruit.
