The Tomato’s Bad Rap (A Dash of Info)

Step into the courtroom of public opinion in 1820 Salem, New Jersey, where the tomato stood accused of being deadly. That’s right—this now-beloved fruit was once feared as poison, thanks to its nightshade relatives and a series of unfortunate lead-related illnesses.

In this episode we unpack the wild tale of how the tomato was put on trial, defended by science and spectacle, and ultimately acquitted in the court of common sense. It’s a story of fear, guts (literal and metaphorical), and one delicious act of resistance.

Spoiler Alert the was Verdict: Not guilty.

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
