Tomatoes are the fruit of the tomato plant. They are botanically classified as a fruit since they contain seeds and grow from a flowering plant,

The first tomatoes that are said to come to Europe were yellow varieties, therefore, the Italian word “Pomodoro” for tomato translates to golden apple. The tomato plant originates from the family of nightshade plants which include cousin plants the potato, eggplant, and chili peppers.
