Green tomatoes D101 -  The world owes South America a debt of gratitude, for this great continent was the original home of the tomato, a member of the Solanum family of plants. Today the many varieties of this popular salad vegetable, that is in reality a fruit, are grown in large quantities around the world, and it has become a staple component of the Australian agricultural industry, and is also widely grown by home gardeners.
