Tomatoes – the Perfect Fruit

It is difficult to         [Imagine, Think, Dream, Believe](1) a world without tomatoes. High in the Andes Mountains of modern-day Peru, the local inhabitants have been cultivating and eating tomatoes since pre-historic         [Ages, Periods, Times, Dates](2), but the food has only become popular in the rest of the world             [effectively, relatively, apparently, eventually](3) recently. These days, the bright red fruit plays an important role in the cooking of many cultures and is a key ingredient in many types of fast food           [mixing, putting, giving, providing](4) both taste and colour to dishes that otherwise would be rather ordinary.

The tomato           [admits, possesses, fits, belongs](5) to the nightshade family of plants, many members of which are poisonous when they were first           [imported, arrived, appeared, presented](6) into North America, therefore, tomatoes were viewed with suspicion and people tended to use them as table decorations        [except, better, apart, rather](7) than as food. In Europe, the tomato was first grown in Italy in 1555, although it wasn't             [joined, combined, added, accompanied](8) with pasta until much later. The first              [instruction, description, recipe, prescription] (9) for tomato ketchup dates from 1727 and in the 1800s, tomatoes began to be used more         [greatly, broadly, wholly, widely](10) in sauces and soups. These days, as well as tasting good tomatoes are known to contain substances which are good for our health. Nutritionists       [point, prove, mark, show](11) out, however, that many processed tomato products also contain additives such as salt and sugar which can         [refuse, shorten, reduce, lower](12) the beneficial effects of the fruit.
