The tomato has been around forever! The most used fruit in international gastronomy, essential for Italian and Mexican cuisines, started domestication and exportation here in Mexico which still rules the international market.
The tomato started 2,600 years ago in the Andes in present day Peru and Ecuador but was considered a weed. Brought up into Mexico where the tomato was cultivated on small islands and domesticated with intent around 500BC.
The green tomato, which is still used in many Mexican sauces, was used in pre-Hispanic cuisine. Also, the tomato was used by the indigenous to relieve sore throats, headaches, digestive problems, ear pain and mumps.
