The Aztecs and Incas cultivated the tomato and in 1519, Hernando Cortez became the first European to see one. He sent some to the Spanish settlements in the Caribbean and from there back to Europe. In this program we find out why the tomato was readily accepted in Italy and Southern Europe but not in the north. As late as the early 19th century, the tomato was grown only in the United States as a garden curiosity. Many people believed it to be poisonous.
