UF5 100% (except for signature), no image traps used.

Although tomatoes are a relatively new addition to the dinner table, the Italians were some of the first to regularly use (and love) these strange fruits brought from The New World to Europe–the English and Americans still thought they were poisonous for another couple hundred years.

And so it is only fitting that the Italian name for the tomato reflects its golden status in the culture’s cuisine. One theory is that the reference to “oro” (gold) comes from the color of those early tomato skins or from the verb “adorare” (to adore).

But some say that the “pomo d’oro” explanation is merely a mistranslation by English-speaking historians and that the Italians had called the tomato the same as they had called the eggplant before it: “pomo di moro,” or fruit of the Moors, who were known for introducing exotic products.

The English word tomato comes, via Spanish tomate, from the Nahuatl word tomatl, which means literally “the swelling fruit”. Interestingly, tomatoes were not commonly eaten in the USA until after 1830.
