Description

This fact-filled new book describes the tomato’s history and how tomatoes have become a major part of our diet, whether uncooked or in sauces, pizzas, curries, and condiments. Interesting facts include the tomato’s connection to folktales about werewolves and why today’s commercial farm-grown tomato is seven times less nutritious than a tomato grown 50 years ago.
