Fun Food Fact of the Week!

 

Tomatoes are currently one of the most popular fruits (or vegetables) in North America. Originating in the Americas, it was only brought to Europe in the 1600s. Despite being admired for its beauty, the tomato was considered poisonous by Europe’s elite. This was due to the fact that wealthy individuals ate off of pewter flatware, which has a high lead content. Foods high in acid, such as the tomato, would cause lead to leech into the food, causing lead poisoning and eventual death. Poor people on the other hand, loved the fruit, as they ate off of wooden plates. Thus, it was not until the 1800s that the tomato gained widespread popularity.
