tomato

Tomatoes are technically fruits but culinarily treated as vegetables. Available in countless varieties from tiny cherry tomatoes to massive beefsteaks, they're fundamental to cuisines worldwide. Rich in lycopene (especially when cooked), tomatoes provide umami depth and bright acidity. Peak season summer tomatoes are incomparably sweet and complex compared to winter greenhouse varieties.
