How to Choose Tomatoes

How to Choose Tomatoes

If you want to eat tomatoes raw, choose pink ones. If you want to eat them cooked, you should choose bright red ones. I think everyone is clear about this. Please see the detailed introduction below.

Choose pink tomatoes when eating raw and bright red when eating cooked

There are two main types of tomatoes

One type is big red tomatoes, which have high sugar and acid content and strong taste; the other type is pink tomatoes, which have low sugar and acid content and light taste.

If you want to eat them raw, of course you should buy pink tomatoes, because this kind of tomatoes is less sour and is better eaten raw; if you want to eat them cooked, you should buy big red tomatoes as much as possible. This kind of tomatoes has a strong flavor and is good for stewing soup or stir-frying.

In addition, the shape of the fruit is closely related to the flesh. The flesh of oblate fruits is thin, while the flesh of round fruits is thick.

Don’t buy misshapen tomatoes

It is important to point out that you should not buy deformed tomatoes or tomatoes with "green shoulders" (green at the base of the fruit), because these tomatoes have poor nutrition and contain toxic tomatin.

Also, do not buy tomatoes with uneven coloring or spots, because these fruits are infected with tomato viruses and have poor taste and nutritional value.
