Is it simply because of it's visual resemblance to the simple cherry, or is there a more detailed mystery behind it? As here (Israel) it is pronounced "Sherry", sounding as in French. Therefore it makes the bunch here wonder about it's actual correct pronunciation, so I decided to ask possible experts :)
What is the Cherry Tomato's name origin?
I think due to its appearance
Reply:i think it is really called the cherry tomato.
They do look like cherries.
But they don't taste like it.
But tomatoes are fruits, so being called a "cherry" tomato makes sense.
Reply:it is CHERRY tomato and it's name is Solanum lycopersicum cerasiforme. Cherry in french is ceris. Sherry is a drink. Hope this helps
