History of Tomatoes

Tomatoes have been around for centuries, with their origin dating back to the Aztecs in Central America. The Aztecs used tomatoes as an ingredient in sauces and as a seasoning in their dishes. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers brought tomatoes to Europe, where they quickly became a popular ingredient in Italian cuisine. Tomatoes were also used in Spanish and Portuguese cooking, where they were known as "tomates."

Tomato Sauce

Tomato sauce is one of the most popular uses of tomatoes today. It is used in many dishes, from pizza to pasta. The first recorded recipe for tomato sauce was published in the 18th century by Italian chef Antonio Latini. Since then, tomato sauce has become an essential ingredient in many Italian dishes. In the United States, tomato sauce is used in a variety of dishes, including spaghetti, lasagna, and chili.
