Origin
Cherry tomatoes are believed to have originated in South America, specifically in the Andes region of Peru and Ecuador. They were first cultivated by the Incas and later spread throughout the Americas. The small, cherry-sized tomatoes were then introduced to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Today, cherry tomatoes are grown in many parts of the world and are a popular ingredient in various cuisines.
