Between 1799 and 1804, the German polymath Alexander von Humboldt, together with botanist Aimé Bonpland, traversed the rugged and climatically unpredictable mountain landscapes of the South American Andes. Among the thousands of plants they discovered and documented for posterity on their arduous journey was this untamed primal tomato.
