The history of the tomato is somehow fascinating.
Do you know that it was among the first artificially selected fruits? It is native to the Andean regions, later brought to the plains of Central America. Here, on the xitomatl (as in the Nahuatl language used by the Aztecs), the peasants began a slow and patient work of selection, aiming to “eliminate” the fruits that had a high quantity of those toxic substances for humans, such as tomatine and solanine (currently contained only in plants and leaves).
From there, the berry, probably smaller than the one we know today and yellow in colour, became (possibly around two millennia ago or so) an essential component of the Aztec diet.
They used tomatoes, along with peppers, wild onions and salt, to prepare a sauce with which to accompany parts of the bodies of the enemies who had fallen in battle.
You didn’t see that coming, did ya?
However, to cut tomatoes, or prepare any sauce to accompany your meals (which do not include human flesh, I hope), you can trust Inox Bim stainless steel fabrications.
