Is the virgin fruit genetically modified? What are the functions and effects?

Cherry fruit, often called small tomato, Chinese officially called cherry tomato, is a very common fruit in our life, so do you know that cherry fruit is genetically modified food? What are the functions and effects? Next, let's learn together:

Are tomatoes genetically modified?

The cherry tomatoes we eat are the most primitive tomato varieties, so to speak, not fully domesticated varieties, and DNA sequence analysis confirms this. In recent breeding developments, it has been possible to recombine the fine traits of small tomatoes that taste good, and to combine them by conventional crossing, resulting in a delicious cherry. So far, cherry tomatoes have not had a relationship with transgenic technology.

Tomato fruit is one of the members of the tomato family, tomato alias tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes and so on. Tomato origin center is the Americas Andes belt, in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and other places, there are a large number of wild species distribution. For solanaceae annual herbs. Tomato genus is divided into two complex populations: tomato and tomato. Common tomato is cultivated; Peruvian tomato is wild. Therefore, cherry tomatoes are the ancestors of today's cultivated tomatoes.

What are genetically modified foods? Genetically modified food is the artificial transfer of genes from other organisms into crops. For example, transferring genes from flowers and trees to humans is called genetic modification. And the cherry fruit that he usually ate was what he usually called a small tomato. This small tomato is actually the most primitive tomato variety, while the big tomato is a variety that people later bred in order to pursue the big fruit. However, there is no genetically modified food in Chinese vegetables and fruits at present. No matter from the size and color, it is the traditional breeding method. If it is used in an unconventional way, it is not genetically modified food. For example, when people of different races combine, they produce children that are different from children of the same race, but they are still human genes. Therefore, domestic fruits and vegetables can be safely consumed.

What are the functions and effects of cherry tomatoes?

1. Cherry contains glutathione and lycopene and other special substances. These substances can promote the growth and development of the human body, especially the growth and development of children, and can increase human resistance and delay human aging.

2. Lycopene can protect the human body from carcinogenic toxins in cigarettes and car exhaust, and can improve the body's sun protection function.

3. Lycopene in tomato products not only can prevent cancer, cancer, especially prostate cancer, but also can treat prostate cancer.

4. The content of vitamin PP in tomatoes ranks first among fruits and vegetables. The role of vitamin PP is to protect the skin, maintain the normal secretion of gastric juice, promote the generation of red blood cells, and also have an auxiliary therapeutic effect on liver disease. Cherry contains malic acid or citric acid, help gastric juice to fat and protein digestion.

5. Tomato taste sweet acid, slightly cold, on the stool knot, too much meat, thirst halitosis, chest diaphragm sultry, roar inflammation swelling pain after eating beneficial. A large amount of vitamin C is required by the body's connective tissue components, it cartilage, blood vessels, ligaments and bone at the basic part of the role of increasing its power and flexibility.

6. Cherry fruit can increase the body's resistance, delay aging, reduce wrinkles, so it is especially suitable for girls to use beauty, can be said to be a natural beauty fruit for girls.
