Tomato Trivia
 
I'm working on my E-catalog that I send to my customers each year and I thought it would fun to add snippets of history and trivia about tomatoes. I have most of the usual trivia that I have checked for accuracy, but I figured you all would maybe have some interesting info outside of the usual google searches that I could research.

The word tomato is from the Nahuatl [I]tomatl. [/I][I]Nahuatl has been spoken in central Mexico since at least the seventh century CE.
