Season 1 Episode 213
Before 1870, the tomato was a wild plant that most found hard, ugly and inedible. Most homes that had a plant just kept it as an ornamental curiosity. But after 15 years of work, A. W. Livingston of Reynoldsburg developed a sweet, juicy, smooth-skinned variety that made the tomato a commercial crop for the first time. Does Livingston deserve credit for "inventing" one of the world's favorite foods?
