.Tomatoes are an economically important plant of the Solanaceae family. Tomatoes are grown in temperate and hot regions and belong to the genus Solanum (such as potatoes and guava), which includes several other wild species. Their scientific name is (in Latin: Solanum lycopersicum). The name tomato comes from the Aztec language in Central Mexico and is derived from a Nautilus word called tomatl, literally "swollen fruit", and is called in English (tomato), and tomato (from Italian) (pomodori). Tomatoes originated in South America and spread throughout the world after the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Tomatoes are now widely grown, often in greenhouses to maintain temperature. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and minerals, and some still recommend eating them for people with constipation, diabetes, heart disease, and general body health. Recent scientific studies and research indicate the importance of drinking tomato juice in reducing platelet activity in diabetics, which protects them from heart attacks. Tomato cultivation has been successful in open and covered farms, as well as in soilless cultivation. Studies have been conducted to control the shape of its product and the time of fruit ripening to facilitate the process of exporting it.
