Tomatoes

Vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron.

They are picked in the field and sent to a tomato processing plant. At the plant they are steamed, crushed, or chopped depending on if they are going to become paste, sauce or left whole or canned.

Tomatoes come in every colour under the sun. There are reds, oranges, pinks, yellows, blacks, browns, purples, whites, greens, bi-colours and striped. Run a search for "heirloom tomatoes" and you will get some good pictures to look at.

This will depend on many things.

Soil, temperature, humidity etc.

The plant will grow at different rates at different times in it's life, for instance just after it is planted out it will sit still until the roots have established in the new situation then watch it grow.

The best attribute a grower can have is patience.

well theres alot of diffrent kind of tomatoes so that's hard to answer but I'd say around...4or5 (rough estimate)

When a recipe calls for 1 lb. You use 4 medium size tomatoes, 9- 10 inches around.

You can guesstimate peaches or apples this way too.

A lug is a container for packing items. It is 161/8 x 13 1/4. When used for tomatoes it holds approximately 32 lbs.

A good rule of thumb is to water when the top 1" is dry and water early in the day and do not splash water on the plant. Soak to encourage deep root growth

Tomatoes like to be kept in a sunny climate, tomatoes have a risk of dying if it gets cold. If you want to know how to grow them perfectly then read this; they can't have too much sun. Find the sunniest spot in your yard. I also like to water mine almost every day. Sometimes, a few tomatoes get a little sunburned though, and it really doesn't taste very good so once the plants have grown some gardeners cover them with a light mesh/cloth sold at garden and home centers. You probably won't do that until you've grown a few though. The young plants need to be tied to a short stake. Use jute twine for this. A staple gun is helpful, too. When the plants get a little bigger they need more support. Garden centers sell a wire cage shaped like a large cone that cost a dollar. It has three strong wires running vertically welded to three wire hoops. When the plants get big enough, you slide the cone shaped cage over them. That's the easiest and best way to provide support, but you can use literally anything to support the plants. You can drive large stakes into the ground and run string or poles horizontally. Then, tied the plants to the supports. I hope you have good soil. If you don't, add a little 10-10-10 fertilizer. It is the most common fertilizer. Also, manure works well, and you can buy it at home centers. You can use Miracle-Gro for Tomatoes when watering them. Till a small area with a shovel. I put my plants about 18" apart, but some people space larger varieties farther apart. Add a couple of cherry tomato plants also. They ripen a couple of weeks earlier, and you'll be glad you have them. Fresh off the vine, they are almost as tasty as a strawberry.

You can put tomatoes on a table and let them continue to ripen. Refrigerating tomatoes slow the ripening process so they stay frim longer

That depends on what happened to the soup before it was refrigerated and the temperature of the refrigerator.

Use it up within a week. If that's not going to happen, consider freezing it.

The best-before or use-by date will be printed on the container. The expiry date changes when the container is opened and it becomes necessary to refrigerate the tomato paste and use it within a specific time frame. The refrigerated life of the product will be given on the label.

It derives from the word "tomatl", in the Nahuatl language of central Mexico, where tomatoes originate from. It was then changed to tomate in Spanish and finally changed one last time to tomato in English.

--------------------

'xitomatl' is believed to be the Aztec name given to the tomato when tribes in Central America began its systematic cultivation. The modern tomato is probably derived from wild plants from South America, and there are still several varieties of wild tomatoes found in the Andes Mountains in Peru.
