The tomato is cultivated worldwide for its delicious fruits. Although we call it a vegetable, the tomato we eat is a berry. It is one of the most important cultivated members of the family Solanaceae, along with the potato, the eggplant, tobacco and petunias. In some places, tomato plants can become weeds and somewhat invasive.
