Tomato is undoubtedly one of the most popular vegetables in our country houses. Interest in information about various varieties, care for this plant, and methods of growing seedlings is very great. There are many publications on these fascinating topics on our website.

Tomato fruits-from a botanical point of view — are more like berries. In English, there is no difference between the terms fruit and fruit. In 1893, the United States Supreme Court unanimously held that when levying customs duties, tomatoes, according to the way they were consumed, should be considered vegetables, since they were served for lunch, not for dessert (although the court noted that from a botanical point of view, tomatoes are berries).
