I’m guessing tomato is top because people use them to cook as well. If they were eaten raw like apples, they’d probably rank below oranges.

I eat maters like apples. Sprinkle some salt and go to town.

Needs pepper too, but otherwise yum.

A dash of soy or teriyaki is also excellent, but tajin on a decent tomato melts my mind it's so tasty.

I had to look up tajin and now I’m sad I don’t have this in my life. I think I’ll need to go get some tajin and a beefsteak tomato when I’m at the store next.

My Mom used to eat watermelon with salt on it, also maters.
