A tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a fruit-bearing plant species belonging to the Solanaceae family (nightshade family). Botanically classified as a berry, the tomato is composed primarily of water (about 95%) and contains carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds.

One of its key phytochemicals is lycopene (C₄₀H₅₆), a red carotenoid pigment responsible for its color and antioxidant properties. Lycopene is known for its ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduce oxidative stress, and support cardiovascular, skin, and prostate health. Other bioactive components in tomatoes include beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium.

Tomatoes are a versatile food source, widely consumed fresh or processed, and play a central role in human nutrition due to their low-calorie content and dense nutrient profile.
