"""Impressively researched and written with a nicely wry view of human behavior, Tomato: A Global History by Hyman is a highly enjoyable read. Every page reveals little known and often surprising facts about this fruit that we now regard as a vegetable. . . . Hyman's fine book could even answer my query about yellow tomatoes.""--Geraldene Holt, food writer"
