Tomato is a kind of vegetable and fruit that we usually eat, the taste is very good, and the taste is sour and sweet, whether it is used raw or used to make dishes are very delicious. The most important thing is that tomatoes are rich in various vitamins, minerals, water and other nutrients that are necessary for our body, and eating a little tomato often is also better for our body. Although tomatoes are better, but now many people in order to improve the yield of tomatoes, the use of hormones in the production process is becoming more and more, so that some friends want to eat dare not eat, so we should pay attention to when choosing.
How do you pick a naturally ripe and very fresh tomato? When buying tomatoes, do you pick 5 leaves or 6 leaves? Today I will solve your doubts. So let's take a look at how to pick naturally ripe, very fresh, very high-quality tomatoes.
When buying a tomato, the first thing we see is its color and shape. So the first thing to carefully observe the shape and color of the tomato, the shape of the naturally ripe tomato is generally very rounded, and the color of the epidermis is different, the distribution is uneven, this is because the tomato in the growth process some face the sun, some back to the sun, so that the light is different, resulting in the color of the epidermis is also different, which is a normal phenomenon of all fruit growth.
On the contrary, if you see that the shape is not round enough, a little oval or a little concave, deformed, it is very likely that it has been hormone-played. Because under the action of drugs, some parts of the tomato grow particularly prominently, which leads to the tomato as a whole is not round, and the surface color is very uniform. It feels like dyed, because the tomatoes are still blue, picked when they are not ripe, and then sprayed with ripening agent, which will make the color of the skin even and good-looking.
Although the tomatoes that use hormones sell very well, these hormone drugs will remain in the pulp, and it will be harmful to the body after eating, so when buying tomatoes, try not to buy long-growing or deformed tomatoes.
Second, let's look at the stem of the tomato, there will be several leaves, the number of this leaf is generally divided into two kinds, there are 5 leaves, there are 6 leaves. The difference in the number of leaves determines the taste of the tomato. The 6-leaf tomato variety is generally a little better than the 5-leaf tomato variety. Whether it is in terms of moisture or nutrition, it is better to have 6 leaves, so we try to choose 6-leaf tomatoes when buying tomatoes.
Third, when buying tomatoes, turn the tomato over to look at its bottom, if the bottom is naturally sunken, it is a naturally ripe tomato, and if the bottom is convex, it is likely to be a tomato with hormones.
Fourth, touch it with your hand to feel the softness and hardness of the tomato, if the pressure is soft and hard moderate, elastic, the skin feels a little rough, so that it is a naturally ripe tomato, if the skin is hard when pressed, the skin is very smooth to touch, and it is very likely that it is a tomato with a ripening agent. If there are some tomato skins that are slightly too soft to press, do not buy them, this may be a tomato that has been left for a long time, and it is not fresh to eat.
