Tomatoes –which come from the Nahuatl word tomatl—originated in Mexico, and come in many colours. Colonizers first brought the yellow tomato to Europe, where it was called “the golden apple”, or “pomidoro” in Italian. When the second, red variety made its way to France, it was named “la pomme d’amour”, or “the love apple”. Red and luscious, it was believed to be an aphrodisiac—the perfect symbol for the sixth tarot card, The Lovers.
西红柿源自纳瓦特尔语 tomatl，原产于墨西哥，有多种颜色。殖民者首先将黄色番茄带到了欧洲，在那里它被称为“金苹果”，或者意大利语中的“pomidoro”。当第二种红色品种传入法国时，它被命名为“la pomme d’amour”，即“爱情苹果”。 它又红又甘美，被认为是一种春药——第六张塔罗牌“恋人”的完美象征。
