History Of The Tomato - How The Tomato Took Over The World 

I was just sitting in the sun looking at my garden and said to myself "where tf did tomatoes come from?" Spent 2 mins searching google and come pass this video. Literally exactly what i was looking for thanks 😂

Tomatoes came from Mexico. Noodles came from Asia. Italian food is Mexican-Asian fusion.

INDIGENOUS Peoples from the Americas:Your Welcome.

The Italians invented Tomato. AND A LOT OF MORE BOLOGNI AND LIES TOO. LOL>>>

There's a second name for the tomato in Chinese: 西红柿, which translates literally into "western red persimmon." Persimmons are native to China, and the tomato looks like the persimmon and came from the West, so the name stuck.

Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 the land of the best food in the world!!!! Your welcome

Nailed that Nahuatl pronunciation 💯

That's why I dislike people, especially Italians, being so grossed out in adding new ingredients to their "traditional food". Italians/Europeans (other colonizers) were only able to make these so called traditional food after they pillaged weaker peoples. Without their spices, Imagine how bland is European food. So stop food shaming. Ingredients are widely globally available nowadays, it would be a shame not to use them. Pineapple in pizza? I may not like it, but Im loving the creativity and diversity of human culture. Oh btw, regarding the eggplant. Some eggplants are shaped like an egg (same shape as tomatoes). Im assuming that's where it gets its name from.

Tomato’s came from Mexico and noodles came from china, so Italian food is a Chinese Mexican fusion 😂

I think many Asian cultures called it an alien eggplant because the native eggplants (also known as thorn eggplant or bitter eggplant) are often small, rounded/egg-shaped. An unripe tomato looks a lot like an unripe bitter eggplant. Even today, the most commonly available variety of tomato in India is an egg-shaped one, not the round heirloom ones. That's what I think at least, haha.

Wow that was very fun and information, the graphics were great 👍 and this was very nice to watch :)

I assume there are lots of varieties of eggplant in China and maybe some were more shaped like a tomato.

Dude, I had no idea how big of a role colonialism had in making so many tomato dishes around the world!

you could have expanded on the topic slightly and pointed out that potatoes are related and native to the Andes mountains not from Ireland

Actually no. The Cherokee had a black tomato in use for centuries before the English. They closely guarded the seeds, the descendant is known as the Cherokee black.

well edited and fun to watch! keep up the good work!

Bro puedes ser un poco más neutral, no todos odiamos a los gringos y quedamos igual que ellos cuando se nos nota así sea un poquito de molestia. Xd pero es tu vídeo así que tal vez no vuelva a ver tu canal.

Because European is much more better cooks

the tomato is originally from Peru 🇵🇪👍

no....... tomato is a vegetable not a fruit

Tomatoes and Eggplants are both part of the Nightshade family. You're welcome anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

Excuse me the world?

American Indians invented corn and Peruvians invented potatoes. LOL.. Neither. They come from nature before those nations existed..

There were tomatoes that were taken from China way back in time they were probably taken or traded with ancient Americans ABOUT 2000 years ago they were like blueberries and were very small its the same with potatoes as well

Umm... tomatoes are vegetables. The term vegetable refers to the fresh edible portions of herbaceous plants. You eat tomatoes, right? Botanically, a tomato is a fruit because it is the seed-bearing structure of the plant but remains a vegetable as well. When we classify food from a culinary perspective, a tomato is a vegetable because of its savory flavour versus the sweet flavour of fruit.

Gazpacho portuguese... aaaaallright
