Are tobacco and tomato hornworms the same?
No, tobacco [Manduca sexta] and tomato [M. quinquemaculata] aren't the same. But they're related. Both feed off tobacco and tomato plants. But the tobacco hornworm does prefer the tobacco plant, and the tomato hornworm the tomato plant.
Their larval stage is quite similar. But it's possible to distinguish between the two. For example, the tobacco hornworm has red horns and markings that are similar to seven [7] diagonal lines on its lime-green body.
In contrast, the tomato hornworm has black horns and markings that are similar to eight [8] v-shaped lines on its lime-green body.
The adult, moth stages for the two are similar. For example, they're both brown and gray. They both have spots on their abdomen. But the five-spotted hawkmoth, the adult of the tomato hornworm, has five spots. The adult, moth stage of the tobacco hornworm has six.
How many grams are in a fresh tomato?
This is entirely dependent on the tomato. Grams are a unit of mass. The density of tomatoes are probably all pretty close but, unfortunately, the volume of a tomato varies from tomato to tomato--So it is impossible to give a single value of mass for a tomato.
If you want a guess, then according the nutrition facts on my tomatoes in the fridge, a 3" tomato weighs 180 grams. This is nothing more than an educated guess however.
If you want to know the mass of a tomato, weigh it!!! Get a kitchen scale and weigh it. If the scale is in ounces or pounds, there are about 28.35 grams in an ounce and 453.6 grams in a pound. Simply convert and you have your answer--Or, if you have the option, switch the scale to grams as the units and save yourself the time.
Do you mean how much does a tomato weigh? It can really vary. Try being a bit more specific.
Is it safe to use horse manure on tomato plants or can I get sick from E-coli?

How do you freeze greentomatos?
You can have fried green tomatoes out of season. Simply slice the green tomatoes, place them in a zip lock freezer bag, and freeze them. Thaw them completely in a colander to allow the excess water to drain. Roll them in flour and fry them. They aren't quite a good in quality as they are when they are fresh, but it works.

If a tomato is a fruit than is ketchup a jelly?
It depends on how you look at it. If people think it's a jelly, then it is considered a jelly (to people that they think it is), and if people don't think it is, then it isn't(to the people that don't think it isn't). To me, it depends. Just don't use ketchup as jelly if your making a sandwich, LOL.
Is tomatoes renewable resource?
A renewable source is stuff that you can re-use because it is replaced naturally or because it is always there, like sunlight or water. Tomatoes as a species is a renewable source, because in nature the tomato plant always grows new tomatoes. Individual tomatoes are non-renewable: once you put them in a salad and eat them, you can't use them again.

What historical evnent brought words tomatoes potatoes and tobacco to English laanguage?
The word potato comes from the Spanish patata, from the Carib, or Taino, batata. The historical event bringing the potato, with its name, to Europe and thence into the English language, was the arrival of the Spanish in the Americas.
The word tomato comes from the Nahua word, tomatl. There's debate over which explorer brought the tomato from South America to Europe, but the theories range from Columbus, in 1493, to Cortez, in 1521. The historical event here was, again, the arrival of the Spanish in the Americas.
Tobacco comes to English from the Spanish tabaco and Italian tabacco, from Carib or Taino, though an Arabic word, tabbaq, was used long before tobacco was introduced to Europe, to describe various medicinal herbs.
While the initial discovery of tobacco in the Americas by Europeans resulted from the Spanish conquest, it was early settlers who introduced the practice of smoking tobacco to Europe. A Frenchman named Andre Thevet imported tobacco seed to France, where cultivation began in 1556. Tobacco, in French, is tabac.
Are sun dried tomatoes fattening?
Sun-dried tomatoes, dehydrated, sliced, diced, quartered, blended, pureed, steamed, stewed, or pasted are tomatoes that were whole tomatoes that have become tomatoes of a different consistency. No, tomatoes are definitely not fattening, they are catabolic.
The only cases tomatoes would be fattening is if you ADD fat - like deep-frying them (fried green tomatoes), or making tomato chips (brushing sun-dried/dehydrated tomatoes with oil and baking them)...in THAT case it would be fattening because of the oil working its way into the tomatoes. - Maikel Y.
