Description
Grown and shot at my home in Klamath Falls, Oregon in three different stages. Due to extreme frosts, I had to pick these lovely tomatoes while still green to prevent them from freezing. Shot in stages of ripening- and now there is only a few left in the fridge; one of the things I cannot resist is a home-grown tomato! I love to make Salsa, Salads and other dishes using this wonderful Vitamin enriched fruit, but there is nothing like picking them from the vine and enjoying their sweet, red flesh immediately. I didn't get to do that this year as arriving up here the beginning of June, it was already a bit late to start a garden.
The tomato is the edible, often red, berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as a tomato plant. The species originated in western South America and Central America. The Nahuatl word tomatl gave rise to the Spanish word tomate, from which the English word tomato derived. Its domestication and use as a cultivated food may have originated with the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The Aztecs used tomatoes in their cooking at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, and after the Spanish encountered the tomato for the first time after their contact with the Aztecs, they brought the plant to Europe. From there, the tomato was introduced to other parts of the European-colonized world during the 16th century.
