Tomato Introduction:

Tomato belongs to the Solanaceae family and is an annual vegetable. It is native to South America and is widely cultivated in various parts of my country, with more production in summer and autumn.

According to legend, tomatoes first grew in South America. Because of their bright colors, people were very wary of them and regarded them as "fox fruit", also known as wolf peaches, which were only for viewing and not for tasting.

Now it is a delicacy on many people's tables. Tomatoes are rich in carotene, vitamin C and B vitamins, especially vitamin P, which is the highest among vegetables.

The edible part of tomatoes is the juicy berry. There are many varieties of tomatoes. According to the shape of the fruit, they can be divided into round, oblate, oblong, and pointed round; according to the color of the peel, there are bright red, pink, orange-red, and yellow.

Red tomatoes are bright red in color, generally in a slightly flattened spherical shape, with a small navel, thick flesh, sweet taste, rich and refreshing juice, and good flavor. They can be eaten raw or cooked, and can also be processed into tomato sauce and tomato juice. Pink tomatoes are pink in color, nearly spherical, with a small navel, smooth surface, moderate sweet and sour taste, and better quality. Yellow tomatoes are orange-yellow in color, large in spherical shape, with thick flesh that is both smooth and sandy, and have a light taste when eaten raw, but are best eaten cooked.
