The origin and benefits of tomatoes are solanaceae plants, which are also called tomatoes, plums and kumquat because of their appearance. It is also named tomato because it looks like a red persimmon, and its variety comes from the west. According to historical records, tomato is a wild plant growing in Peru National Forest in South America, formerly known as "Wolf Peach".

For generations, no one dared to eat tomatoes.

Until17th century, a French painter painted tomatoes many times. Faced with such a beautiful, lovely and "poisonous" berry, he couldn't resist its temptation, so he had the idea of tasting it himself. So he risked his life to eat one, feeling sweet and sour. Then, he lay in bed, waiting for death. But one day passed, and he was still lying in bed, bulging his eyes and staring at the ceiling. How come? He ate a tomato as bright as a poisonous mushroom and didn't die! He smacked his lips and recalled the delicious feeling of chewing tomatoes. He laughed and told his friends that "tomatoes are non-toxic and edible", and they were all shocked. Soon, the news that tomatoes are non-toxic shocked the west and quickly spread all over the world.

Since then, hundreds of millions of people have enjoyed the delicious food brought by this brave man who dares to be the first in the world.
