Tomatoes are grown in temperate and tropical regions of the world and are a significant source of umami flavor. Tomato plants typically grow between three and 10 feet in height, with vines and a weak sprawling stem.  Tomatoes trace back to the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican peoples.  They eventually made their way into Europe through the Spanish, and they became a very regular feature of Spanish food. Tomatoes have up to 10,000 distinct varieties...and many are now grown in greenhouses so they can be available all year long. So why are they considered a vegetable and a fruit...in 1893 In Nix v. Hedden, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes are vegetables for tariff purposes, even though botanically they are fruits.
