A cherry tomato is a very small variety of tomato that has been cultivated since at least the early 1800s[1] and thought to have originated in Peru and Northern Chile.[2] Cherry tomatoes range in size from a thumbtip up to the size of a golf ball, and can range from being spherical to slightly oblong in shape. The more oblong ones often share characteristics with plum tomatoes, and are known as grape tomatoes. The berry tomato is regarded as a botanical variety of the cultivated berry, Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme.[3] The modern-day common commercial cherry tomato was developed in Israel.[4]
