Tomato is a versatile vegetable and is used in a variety of ways.

Tomato is also one of the important sources of lycopene, a powerful natural anti-oxidant used in pharmaceuticals.

The first tomatoes introduced into the Europe were yellow coloured and the red types were introduced many years later.

From Spain, the tomato spread to Italy, France and other European countries.
