When we go to the market to buy vegetables, the vegetables we often choose are tomatoes. There are all kinds of vegetables in the market, all kinds of colors, so what should we pay attention to when we go to the market to buy? These 3 kinds of tomatoes need to be distinguished by themselves, eating is not conducive to good health, the vegetable sellers themselves do not eat, everyone can not buy the wrong.
1. Do not buy blue-haired hard tomatoes
Tomatoes are divided into large red fruit type and pink fruit type, the difference between the two is that the tomato texture of the big red fruit is harder and the skin is thicker; the pink fruit type tomato has a better taste, and is more inclined to be eaten raw as a fruit in the northerners' recipes, but it is not easy to preserve. In recent years, in order to store and transport tomatoes, China has begun to breed hard tomatoes of the red fruit type on a large scale. However, due to the special storage and transportation requirements of red fruit tomatoes, many tomatoes are picked when they are still green and very hard, and then packed for transportation. Farmers ripen the tomatoes during transportation to ensure that they reach the best quality and hardness some time before they enter the market. However, sometimes due to negligence, some tomatoes are not fully ripened before they are listed, resulting in the emergence of some green tomatoes. When we choose a tomato product, the first step is to look at the color of the tomato, if the color is largely green, we know that the tomato is not yet ripe and cannot be purchased.
2. Do not buy tomatoes that are too soft and too red
If the appearance of the tomato is too bright, we should also pay attention to whether the tomato contains too much red pigment. Some tomatoes are not bright enough in color and not good enough, and merchants will spray red pigment on the appearance of tomatoes to add color to the vegetables. But although the appearance of these vegetables has become more beautiful, the nutritional value has not changed in the slightest, and even due to excessive pigmentation, it may cause harm to the human body.
Some tomatoes are not only red, but also excessively soft. At this time, we must pay attention to determine whether these tomatoes have been over-ripe. In today's market, tomatoes are mostly hard fruit type tomatoes, if we see tomatoes that are too crispy and soft. Then these tomatoes may have been ripe for a long time, because they did not sell for a long time and the flesh was too soft. Seeing this tomato we must not buy!
3. Tomatoes with small pointed horns
Now many vegetables and fruits are out-of-season, in order to produce these off-season vegetables, merchants often use excessive hormones in the planting process to cause vegetables to mutate. One type of tomato is formed due to the excessive use of ripening agents and bulking agents. Once this tomato is eaten into our bodies, it can cause some trouble for health. Therefore, when encountering this ripening mutant fruit, you must remember to distinguish it.
In fact, not only tomatoes, there are many kinds of vegetables and fruits in life, and the vendors in the wet market do not necessarily know where their products come from and what the quality is. Even if it is clear, they would like to sell it all in order to make money. However, in order to eat healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables, we consumers should carefully choose vegetables such as tomatoes when choosing, so that we can avoid choosing unhealthy foods.
