What if the seeds of a tomato are green?
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

Suckers are usually located towards the bottom of the plant and generally don't have blossoms. There is not agreement among tomato gardeners about whether suckers should be cut off or not.

1Turn on the stove and begin boiling water. Prepare an ice bath high enough to cover the tomato. Step2 Clean the tomato of any debris and remove the tomato stem by twisting it off.
Step3 Score the bottom of the tomato with a paring knife. Do this by cutting an x on the bottom of the tomato. This will make it easier to peel away the skin once the tomato is blanched.
Step4 Immerse the scored tomato in boiling water. Leave the tomato in the boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds. Any longer than this and the tomato will begin to cook and the meat will soften.
Step5 Remove the tomato from the boiling water and immediately place it in an ice bath. This will ensure that the tomato does not continue to cook and makes peeling the skin a breeze.
Step6 Remove the tomato from the ice bath and peel away the skin with your fingers. The skin should come right off. If there are areas where the skin seems to be sticking, you can easily remove it with your paring knife.
