A '''tomato''' is a [[food]] item that heals 20 lifepoints when eaten. Its main use is as an ingredient in other foods; tomatoes are needed to make [[garden pie]]s, [[vegetable batta]]s and [[Cheese+tom batta|cheese and tomato battas]], and [[egg and tomato]] (used as the topping for [[egg potato]]es), as well as [[ugthanki kebab]]s and all types of [[pizza]]s.

Members can store five tomatoes in a [[basket]]. One [[basket of tomatoes]] is required to pay a gardener to watch over growing [[yanillian hops]] or a growing [[oak tree]], and three baskets of tomatoes are required to pay them to watch over a growing [[Cadava berries|cadava berry]] bush.

Members can use tomatoes in a [[Compost Bin]] to make [[compost]]. However, using ''only'' tomatoes in a batch turns them into [[rotten tomato]]es instead.

==Obtaining tomatoes==
Members can grow tomatoes by planting three [[tomato seed]]s in an [[allotment]] patch at level 12 [[Farming]]. They can plant a [[marigold seed]] in the flower patch to help protect the tomatoes from [[Disease (Farming)|disease]], or pay the gardener two sacks of [[cabbage]]s to ensure they grow.

A tomato [[Spawning|spawns]] in the [[Bandit Camp (Wilderness)|Bandit Camp]] in the [[Wilderness]], on a stool near the fairy ring in the Feldip Hills Jungle Hunter area and on the first floor of [[Aggie]]'s house in [[Draynor Village]]. In [[Update:New readers letters|issue 1]] of [[Postbag from the Hedge]] (dated [[26 September]] [[2005]]), Aggie claims to have created the tomato accidentally whilst trying to summon a [[lesser demon]]. It is unclear whether she is referring to the particular tomato in her house (explaining why it keeps reappearing), or is claiming to be the origin of all tomatoes. In any case, her claims cannot necessarily be taken too seriously, as she also says that tomatoes "do sometimes bite"; there is no evidence of this in the game. Tomatoes can also be bought from [[Wydin's Food Store]] in [[Port Sarim]].

There is a tomato spawn very close to the AKS [[fairy ring]]. Just go slightly north east from the ring and you will see a tomato sitting on a stool near a camp fire with an [[ogre]] walking near it.

After completing the ''[[Fremennik Trials]]'' quest, members with level 2 [[Thieving]] can steal tomatoes from the [[vegetable stall]]s on [[Miscellania]] and [[Etceteria]], or simply buy them from the [[greengrocer]] there. They can also buy tomatoes from the food shop in [[Port Sarim]], or (depending on their progress in the ''[[Recipe for Disaster]]'' quest) from the [[Culinaromancer's Chest]] in [[Lumbridge Castle]].

Players can purchase tomatoes at the [[Farming shop]]s after another player has sold there, but this is rare since those shops cycle their player stocks rather quickly. Note that since the [[Grand Exchange]] update, the Farming shops sell tomatoes at GE prices (when they have tomatoes) but will pay players only a starting payment of 9 coins for a tomato, assuming the store has no tomatoes in inventory - the payment per tomato goes down gradually as the inventory increases.

Players can also acquire tomatoes by talking to the [[Recruiter]] in [[West Ardougne]]; the nearby men will throw tomatoes at him, and players can pick these up from the ground. But this is a very slow method for obtaining tomatoes, and other methods except waiting for spawns are greatly preferred.
