Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a globally popular fruit used as a vegetable, belonging to the nightshade family. Tomatoes are typically round or oval, red to deep crimson in color when ripe, and contain juicy flesh with small edible seeds. They are renowned for their tangy-sweet flavor and high lycopene content—a powerful antioxidant associated with numerous health benefits.
Native to South America, tomatoes are now a staple in cuisines across continents. India ranks among the top producers globally, with states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka leading cultivation.
