Though most people
believe that the tomato is a vegetable, this plant is actually a fruit. Tomato
is a fruit because it has seeds inside like apples, oranges, lemons, and all
other types of fruit. The tomato comes from Central and South America.
When tomatoes were brought to England, people thought that they were
poisonous and refused to eat them. Only in 1820, Robert Johnson proved that
tomatoes were absolutely safe and would not affect people’s health. He ate a
basket of tomatoes in public. Nowadays, the tomato is widely used in all types
of food. There are many different kinds of tomatoes – over 7,500! They differ in size,
shape, colour and taste.

The carrot is a root vegetable
which consists mostly of water and sugar. The carrots that we eat today
originated from the wild ones which grew in Europe and Asia. The vegetable
tasted sweet and the people began to use it as food.
There are two main types of carrots.
There are eastern carrots that have dark purple roots and western carrots
with orange roots. In fact, orange carrots first appeared in Europe in 1721.
Dutch farmers selected orange carrots because orange is the colour of the
Dutch Royal Family. Now orange carrots are widely grown all over the world.
In modern households carrots are cooked and eaten in different ways. The
vegetable is boiled, fried, baked and eaten raw. People also make juice from
it.
