Why is small tomatoes also called cherry tomatoes? Is there any origin?
The origin of the sacred fruit: It is said that in the early autumn of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu was seriously ill, and there was no cure for cure too much. So all the concubines in the harem were worried about it. It happened that the harem maid Saint was playing in the garden one day. When she saw a rabbit, she chased it into the depths of the garden. Suddenly, I found a fiery red fruit on a low plant, and the virgin came down to show it to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine didn't know what it was, so she asked the doctor too much.
