Dearfriends,

Somenostalgic memories came to me about the tomato. These memories are 
expandableand I thought of sharing with you. It is a time pass posting.

1Tomato.

I recollectan old Malayalam film incident acted by Jagati.  He went to see two 
girls for marriage from thesame home to his cousins. Elder girl for elder 
cousin and younger girl for youngercousin was the arrangement. Theywere named 
Green tomato and red tomato. But on seeing the girls both cousins “desired 
green tomato”. 

While Jagatidiscussing about it, outside the home, father of the girls 
appeared.  He told in a reduced voice-Sorry...., both of my daughtersdo not 
like any of the cousins. 

There issome confusion whether tomato is a fruit or vegetable. 

Howeverit is classified under vegetable. 

Long back I have read green tomato consumedmore in quantity is poisonous. Most 
shops will be having onlyripe tomato for sale. Only thing some can be oval 
vertically and somehorizontally. Most prefer the horizontal oval type.

Aninteresting point about the prize of tomato in India. Depending on season 
pricecan vary from 150-00rupees to 15-00 rupees per kg. When price goes down 
preference is low for tomato among home makers.

Afterwashing the tomato is also used as it is, cut and added in salads.  There 
are many eating ripe tomato cut topieces and dipped in small quantity of sugar 
in place of fruits. 

I madea Google search about consuming tomato 

“Tomatoes,given their irritating skins and seeds, may be one reason for 
irritable bowel syndrome.And if you already have IBS, tomatoes can also trigger 
bloating. Tomatoes arealso one of the most common food allergens that may cause 
intestinal problems(10).9 Nov 2023”

At onetime there were rumours about tomato seeds causing kidney stones. I made 
a Googlesearch about it.

Someindividuals think that tomato and other fruit seeds solidify in the 
kidneys.Kidney stones occur as a consequence. This is a complete myth. Tomatoes 
pass throughour stomach and digestive system when we eat them.18 Oct 2022

I havealso made a Google search about green tomato-Are green tomatoes OK to eat?

“Thereis a higher presence of this Solanina toxin in green tomatoes than in 
ripe redtomatoes, making it harderto digest for humans. Therefore it is 
recommended to cook them in order to sweeten thetaste, de-neutralizing the 
Solanina that causes the bitterness in rawgreen tomatoes.

Inmany homes dish using curd, tomato cut, ginger and small quantity of salt, 
Friedcurry leaves and mustards are added to it. It can be a side dish with 
iddalialso. 

Dependingon the price most restaurants have dishes added with tomato.
