Tomatoes are a universal vegetable, which is rich in nutrients and can be eaten not only raw but also in a variety of dishes. However, how do you pick a sweet, sour, juicy, and delicious tomato? Today, I'm going to share with you a few tips for picking tomatoes, so let's take a look.
First, we should pay attention to the color of the tomatoes. When it comes to picking tomatoes, it's like choosing a significant other, finding tomatoes that look pleasing to the eye and look good. For example, let's say we pick up two tomatoes, one is more transparently red, and the other is not too red, or even a little yellowish.
Therefore, when choosing tomatoes, we should choose the one that is more uniform in color, that is, the feeling of red translucent, which indicates that it is more fully developed, is naturally ripe, and therefore tastes better. Therefore, when selecting tomatoes, the darker and more ruddy the color of the same variety, the more uniform the color, and the better the taste.
Second, we need to pay attention to the shape of the tomatoes. Some tomatoes are rounded and plump, while others are deformed or angular and bony, which means they are malnourished. Therefore, we must choose those tomatoes that are round and plump, which have plenty of moisture and a better taste.
Thirdly, weigh the tomatoes with your hands. When picking tomatoes, hold them in your hand and weigh them gently. Among the tomatoes of the same size, the lighter one tastes better. This is because as the tomatoes gradually ripen the flesh becomes softened and the water is reduced somewhat. Therefore, the ripeter the tomato, the lighter the weight.
Fourth, let's pinch the flesh of the tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes will be softer when pinched, feel some elasticity, and the peel will not wrinkle. This shows that this tomato is naturally ripe and has a better taste. If the pinch feels hard, or the peel is wrinkled, the tomato is not very ripe, or it is no longer fresh.
Have you learned how to pick tomatoes? How do you choose tomatoes? I hope these tips will help you when buying tomatoes. Remember, choose tomatoes with bright red color, round shape, light weight, and soft flesh to taste the most delicious taste. Go ahead and give it a try!
