Reading guide: As the saying goes, "tomatoes are a treasure, often eaten beautiful and less disease", although tomatoes are nutritious, they can be used as fruits, and can also be made into meals, but now it is really difficult to buy delicious tomatoes, sometimes the tomatoes you buy not only do not have a little tomato flavor, but also have a lot of juice, not at all like the tomatoes you ate when you were a child. This is because the current tomato varieties and planting methods have changed, they used to be old seeds, and there were no ripening agents, and naturally ripened tomatoes were pink and sweet when eaten raw. Nowadays, in order to ensure long-distance transportation, they will choose hard tomatoes, and at the same time, in order to ripen tomatoes quickly, some people will also use ripening agents, resulting in tomatoes that are not sweet at all.
In order to buy delicious tomatoes, I have also been fooled a lot, so I recommend that when you buy tomatoes, don't listen to the stall owner's fools, and learn to choose delicious tomatoes by yourself is the most important thing. I buy more tomatoes, I know how to pick, when you buy tomatoes, as long as you encounter these 5 kinds of tomatoes, no matter how cheap you are, don't buy other tomatoes, I believe that the tomatoes you buy in the future are sweet and eat more, remember to tell your family after reading!
The first: pointed tomatoes
When buying tomatoes, it is best not to buy tomato tips, because some pointy tomatoes are pollinated, and growth hormone is played, resulting in a big tip at the top of the tomato, and the sharper the tomato, the worse the taste.
The second type: pinch very hard tomatoes
Tomato hardness is related to varieties and hormones, some varieties of tomatoes are particularly hard, and they can't be pressed hard, and some tomatoes are hormones when growing, resulting in tomatoes ripening quickly, no matter what kind of situation, pinching very hard tomatoes, the taste is worse than soft. When you buy tomatoes, you have to choose tomatoes that are soft and feel the juice splashing out with a little force, this kind of tomato tastes super good, and I love to eat it the most.
The third type: smells unscented
When buying tomatoes, I will definitely smell the tomatoes first, because naturally ripe tomatoes smell very strong tomato flavor, if you buy tomatoes, the tomatoes smell no fragrance, or even smell a little unripe or other unpleasant odor, this method should not be bought, the taste is very poor. When buying tomatoes, the stronger the aroma, the higher the ripeness of the tomatoes, and of course the better the taste.
Fourth: Tomato stalks are red
Many people think that the tomato stalk is red when it is ripe, but in fact, after the tomato is ripe, the tomato stalk is still green, if the tomato stalk is red, this is also a hormone tomato, the redder the color, the more hormones, so when you buy a tomato, it is best to take a look at the stalk.
Fifth: those with fewer leaves
If you have carefully observed the tomato, you will find that the tomato is divided into 5 leaves and 6 leaves, why the tomato has a difference in the number of leaves? This is because the tomato grows, the nutrients absorbed, the more tomato leaves, the sweeter the tomato eats, so when buying tomatoes, it is best to buy 6 leaves, not 5 leaves or less than 5 leaves.
Recommended way to eat: stewed beef brisket with tomatoes
Ingredients preparation: 5-6 tomatoes, 1 kg of beef brisket, ginger, salt, chicken essence, light soy sauce, pepper, cooking wine, appropriate amount of cooking oil.
Method:
1. Rinse the tomatoes, then put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, boil the water on high heat, put the tomatoes into the pot and boil for 1 minute, then peel off the skin of the tomatoes, and finally cut the tomatoes into evenly sized pieces.
2. Rinse the brisket and cut it into pieces of moderate size, then put the brisket, cold water, ginger and a little cooking wine into the pot, boil the water over high heat and leave the foam, then continue to blanch for 5 minutes and remove the foam, and finally rinse the foam on the surface of the brisket.
3. Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, then put half of the tomatoes into the pot and fry the juice, then put all the beef brisket into the tomatoes, continue to fry for 3 minutes, then pour in an appropriate amount of hot water, cover the pot, and simmer the beef brisket for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, put the other half of the tomato, salt, chicken essence, light soy sauce and pepper into the pot, and continue to simmer for 10 minutes before eating.
When buying tomatoes, don't listen to the stall owner's fools, "pointed tomatoes, pinched tomatoes that are very hard, smell without fragrance, tomatoes with red stems, and tomatoes with few leaves" These 5 kinds of tomatoes are cheap, don't buy them, remember to tell your family after reading them!
