 Fruit is popular around the world but do you have any idea which is the most popular fruit in terms of how much it is grown and consumed in a single year. I bet majority of the people will get this answer wrong. The correct answer my dear friends is the tomato and a lot of people end up forgetting that the tomato is indeed a fruit. Not only there are over 10,000 varieties to choose from but there are more than 187 million tons of this fruit grown in a single year around the world. Yes my dear friends that's tomato. Oh do you know which is the second most popular fruit in the world? The answer is banana which is grown at the rate of 124 million tons per year but it just cannot come close to the tomato in terms of popularity.
