Tomato (Tamatar)

Tomato, known as “tamatar” in many South Asian regions, is a widely used and versatile fruit that is often treated as a vegetable in culinary contexts. Scientifically named Solanum lycopersicum, tomatoes come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, with the most common being round and red.

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A. They also contain essential minerals like potassium and are a good source of antioxidants, including lycopene, which has been linked to various health benefits.
