Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are annual plants of the Solanaceae family, native to South America and among the most widely grown vegetables in the world. They produce fleshy, juicy fruit of various shapes, sizes and colours, rich in lycopene, vitamin C and antioxidants. They are eaten fresh in salads but also cooked, in sauces, soups, preserves and juices. The plant can be determinate or indeterminate in habit and needs warmth, sun, fertile soil and support for staking. Tomatoes are a staple of gardens and greenhouses, prized for their flavour and high nutritional value.
