Tomato, the darling of the backyard gardener, the star of salads and spaghetti sauces, and now a possible weapon against cancer, was once considered poisonous fruit to be avoided.

Botanically, tomatoes are a fruit. This is because, generally, a fruit is the edible part of the plant that contains the seeds, while a vegetable is the edible stems, leaves, and roots of the plant.

The tomato, a relative of the deadly nightshade family of plants, was held in high suspicion after it was brought to Europe from Mexico in the 1500s. It was grown in Spain. In Italy it was not widely accepted as a mainstay of Italian food until 1800s.

Now, more than 67 million tons of the smooth-skinned succulent fruit are grown worldwide each year. About nine million tons are grown commercially in the United States - and that doesn't count the millions of backyard gardeners who favor the tomato because it grows in a variety of soils and requires little skill.

There are more than 4,000 varieties of tomatoes, ranging from the small, marble-size cherry tomato to the giant Ponderosa that can weigh more than 3 pounds. Most commercial tomatoes are processed into foods, including sauces, pasta, purees, ketchup, soups, and salsas.

For best flavor, store tomatoes at room temperature. Most tomatoes sold in supermarkets are firm and not fully ripened. To speed up the ripening process, place tomatoes in a brown paper bag or fruit-ripening bowl. Refrigerate only if fully ripe, and then only for a few days.
