A rainbow of tomatoes — Fruit or vegetable?
Tomatoes are
fruits and can be eaten raw or cooked. Everybody has

yellow, orange, pink, black, brown, white, and even purple
65 Feet
tomatoes?
If you measured me from my head
“to-ma-toes”
I still
wouldn’t be as tall as the world’s tallest tomato plant
which was measured to be
65 feet
tall. That is about six
stories tall! Whoa?
Vitamin C:
Oranges aren’t the only source of Vitamin C.
Tomatoes have nearly a third of your recommended daily
intake of Vitamin C. Your body needs Vitamin C to grow
and repair tissues in your skin and muscles.
Growth Regions:
East Texas and Rio Grande Valley
