The word "tomato" may refer to the plant (Solanum lycopersicum) or the edible, typically red, fruit that it bears. Originating in South America, the tomato was spread around the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas, and its many varieties are now widely grown, often in greenhouses in cooler climates.
The tomato fruit is consumed in diverse ways, including raw, as an ingredient in many dishes and sauces, and in drinks. While it is botanically a fruit, it is considered a vegetable for culinary purposes (as well as by the United States Supreme Court, see Nix v. Hedden), which has caused some confusion. The fruit is rich in lycopene, which may have beneficial health effects.
The tomato belongs to the nightshade family. The plants typically grow to 1-3 meters (3-10 ft) in height and have a weak stem that often sprawls over the ground and vines over other plants. It is a perennial in its native habitat, although often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual.

I know, I already commented on this one, but I'm hungry again and it looks soooo good!!!!

I was initially drawn to this because of the bold shapes and color... but the marvelous texture and handling of light keep drawing me back. Wondeful work.

Well...I made it back finally. Had to travel into the next county just to leave a comment..guffaw! Thought I already had because I just love this image, but apparently not so here it is: AWESOME! Someday I hope I can learn and maybe come even close to the drama, depth and dimension that you give to even the simplest of subjects, turning them into something extraordinary! v/f
