# Tomato

A **tomato** is a [food](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Food) [item](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Item) obtained from tomato crops that can be used for farming and crafting.

## Obtaining

### Farming

When a fully-grown tomato crop is harvested, it drops 1 tomato and between 0 and 3 [tomato seeds](@better_mcdonalds_mod:tomato_seeds). A tomato crop has a total of four growth stages (0-3) from planting until harvest. If a crop is harvested before it is fully grown, it drops only 1 seed.
