If you click "Text and Web - Google Translate" you'll get three answers: button, push button and powder. A Lebanese friend just informed me that the word could also mean "small amount of" or "a little bit of".

Zax: Google Translate says 'زر البندورة' is 'button tomato' (obviously incorrect).
zax Oct 6, 2009:
Try Google translation.
Michael McCain (X) (asker) Oct 5, 2009:
sources? There is quite a difference between 'one tomato' and 'tomato powder'. Can you provide any sources to support the answer? Even "that is what we've always said in my family" is helpful information. Thank you!

ثم وصلنا إلى قطعة أرض صغيرة تحت المسرح مزروعة بالفلفل والفقوس والبندورة. لم نكن بحاجة إلى الفلفل، فجروحنا من أشواك التوت البري تحرقنا بأشد من حرقة الفلفل. ولم يكن هناك فقوس. كانوا قد قطفوه. لم يكن إلا البندورة. قطفت زر بندورة، وصعدت إلى منطقة المسرح.
لم أحصل من هذه الرحلة إلا على زر بندورة أخضر غير ناضج.

Mind you, it might also mean "tomato powder" for someone else, I don't know!
