Why do people like tomatoes? I don't think it smells like fart.

June 1 always reminds people of childhood, the little sister of the food research institute next door reminds of childhood tomatoes. Tomatoes today are not as delicious as they were when they were young? Let's hear what the little sister has to say.

When I was a kid, my mom loved tomatoes. In my opinion incredible, watermelon orange grape litchi is not delicious? Other than the impressive juice that wouldn't wash off the clothes, tomatoes were like most of the average-looking students in the class. What else could make people remember that they loved to eat? Her mother said that her love of tomatoes was purely a habit she had developed since childhood. Although the tomatoes now did not taste like fart, the ones she ate when she was a child were delicious and especially delicious. Even if she said so, I still couldn't understand it because I hadn't eaten a "tasty" tomato.

Eating tomatoes in the movie Fanghua, I want to eat it when I look at it.

Therefore, one day, when the director secretly hid a small box of green tomatoes that looked ugly and said they were delicious but didn't let me eat them, I didn't hide my contempt in my heart. I didn't even eat red tomatoes. Can you still enter my eyes when you are not ripe? But I'm still a rebellious girl. The more you don't let me eat, the more I want to eat! Even though my heart doesn't taste good...

Seeing tomatoes like this, I am very disgusted.

Therefore, while the director is not there, I picked the smallest one, basically half red and half green, feel very hard, obviously feel raw, did not report any expectations to bite, but suddenly feel that the whole world has been blown into fireworks! There was no sour taste in his imagination. Instead, a rich fragrance rushed straight to his head. It was a familiar smell that I had never seen before, but it seemed to have been entangled thousands of times. I knew that it was the taste that tomatoes should have. It might be what my mother always said. After eating one in three bites, she couldn't wait to place an order and order a box for her mother to taste the long-lost tomatoes.

why the

/Tomatoes are not delicious now?/

Tomatoes are not as delicious as before, which is the inevitable result of industrialization of agricultural production. From the time tomatoes came to the table, the market tended to favor those varieties with high face value and storage resistance, and these characteristics, unfortunately, were contrary to the taste and taste.

There are so many varieties of tomatoes.| Alimentum

Originally, tomatoes were green and red, as if they had been beaten black and blue, completely unable to arouse appetite, and green represented raw and immature in everyone's stereotype. On the other hand, red and round tomatoes are more popular."They look so good. They must be delicious!" In fact, the high appearance of these all-red tomatoes is at the expense of "selling" the genes that synthesize chlorophyll. However, the green shoulder tomato has a strong chlorophyll synthesis ability. After maturity, the shoulders around the pedicle are still blue, and there are veins inside the fruit, so it produces more sugar and flavor substances, which is more delicious.

The sugar content of tomatoes we usually eat is also between 4-6, but the sugar content of green shoulder tomatoes can reach between 9-11, even more than many fruits common in the market. This is only from the sugar content of this single dimension of comparison, in the sour and sweet balance, tomato own flavor, green shoulder tomato also thrown out of the market common tomato several streets.

There should be a photo of sugar content here, but the little sister was too busy eating and forgot to take it...

Now it seems that the green shoulder tomato is ugly, has no good-looking skin, the fruit yield is very low, and it grows relatively small. It cannot be regarded as meeting the requirements of industrialization of agricultural products, but it is also because of this that it has the personality that the same tomato lacks_tomato's own taste. Even if its green and red ugly appearance looks bad, but as the saying goes,"beauty is in the eye of the beholder", in the green shoulder tomato rich flavor, rich taste, balanced just right sweet and sour bombing, I think it is my beauty, is the most beautiful tomato, do not accept refutation!

/Each tomato plant lives in a detached villa/

Green shoulder tomato was originally a Japanese variety, but after improvement and cultivation in the later stage, it gradually became a new variety with stable characters and rich, crisp, sour and sweet taste. In order for each tomato to thrive, the fruit farmers let them live in a single-family villa_each plant is cultivated in a single pot, with precise fertilization, no nutritional competition and easy quality control. But even with care, the tomato itself is a low-yield variety, and every one you eat is a limited edition.

It's delicious. It's not delicious.

/Picking time is important/

If tomatoes are to taste good, the timing of picking is also critical. Some tomatoes, even if they are delicious in themselves, are not picked at the right time, and the taste will still be a little less interesting.

Tomato ripening is divided into five stages, green ripening stage, slight ripening stage, semi-ripening stage, firm ripening stage and soft ripening stage. Some tomatoes will be picked at green ripening for long-term storage, but in fact, tomatoes picked at firm ripening are the best to eat. The firm ripening period of green shoulder tomato is 7 mature, which is when the tip and middle gradually turn yellow and red, and the shoulder is still blue.

Solidified green shoulder tomatoes ready for picking

Organic acids and vc are less formed in tomatoes at hard ripening stage. After 3-5 days of storage, organic acids and vc will decrease, while soluble solids and soluble sugars will increase during storage, and flavor and sweetness will reach the best.

However, if the harvest is too late, the soluble solids and soluble sugars will decrease during storage, the flavor and sweetness will deteriorate, and the storage will not be tolerated; if the harvest is too early, the soluble solids will not accumulate enough, which translates into human words.

Tomatoes picked at the hard ripening stage and stored for 3-5 days before shipment

Some people may wonder, isn't green tomato poisonous and can't eat it? Can I eat this tomato directly? In fact, don't worry, only immature tomatoes contain a lot of toxic alkaloids, you get the green shoulder tomatoes are mature. Moreover, it is a bit one-sided to use fruit color to measure whether tomatoes are ripe. The biological world is so colorful that some tomato varieties are still a little green even when they are ripe. )┏
