The deep red colour that is present in tomatoes, pink grapefruit, guava and watermelon is caused by lycopene, a carotenoid. Other carotenoids include beta-carotene and alpha-carotene, which give carrots their orange colour. Carotenoids are fat soluble and so in the human body are found in fatty tissue and transported by lipoproteins. They act as dietary precursors to Vitamin A and aid the immune system. However lycopene has a greater property than food colouring. It is a strong antioxidant, which can help to combat degenerative diseases such as Heart disease. It was found that increased concentration of lycopene gave an increased protective effect, so the most concentrated food sources, like tomato puree and ketchup, are better protectors against these diseases. However the human body cannot produce this molecule and needs to obtain it from tomatoes in our diet. High lycopene foods like soup are the most effective against degenerative diseases
The fruit of many plants are different colors. The minerals and other nutrients in the fruit make it take on a particular color. The leaves of the plants make food for the plant through photosynthesis. For this to happen the leaves have to contain chlorophyl which is green.And tomato's red part has different chloroplasts
Because it ripens. A nutrient called lycopene develops.
If the inside of the tomato you are looking at is green, that means it is not ripe and should be given time to mature into a red color.
Because the tomatoes are first green when they are not ripen and not ready to eat. They turn red which means its ripen and ready to eat.
Then you are going to have magical powers and your destinay in life is to become tomato man/woman. go save the world tomato man/woman, go! we need a new hero!
Because of the presence of lycopene.
yes Green seeds are likely not yet ripe.
In trays and then put them in green house
The seeds of a tomato are inside it, and usually sprout after the tomato decays and the seeds can then germinate. Seeds can actually start to sprout inside the tomato if it is kept around long enough and at room temperature. Do not eat the sprouting seeds. The flesh of the tomato is probably OK, but it must be getting a bit old and the flavor might not be what you'd hope for. I'd toss it and get a fresher one. There may be a green leaf-like top on the tomato, this is part of the plant where it was attached to the vine. A tomato with one of those is perfectly edible - just pick off the piece, it will come away easily.
WELL, first you need to know what chlorophyll and germinating means. The plant is green, so a green tomato.germinating means growing. It will make the tomato green, EASY!!
You can look for them in either Green Market or Kline's.
yes All seeds are edible and you could eat the pips in an apple if you wanted.
Because the seeds of the tomato plant form inside the tomato. That's what a fruit is, the part of the plant that contains the seeds.
Tomato seeds, can be found inside the tomato, when you cut it open. or you could buy them at the store!
Tomato
