Origin
Cherry tomatoes are believed to have originated in Central and South America, specifically in the Andean region. They are a small variety of tomato, usually less than an inch in diameter, and are known for their sweet and tangy flavor. Cherry tomatoes were first domesticated by the indigenous people of the region and were later introduced to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Today, they are grown and enjoyed worldwide.
