Tomatoes

I got a couple of Burpee Big Boys from my garden this year that weighed over a pound.

So the answer would be 2, for really big tomatoes. For more average tomatoes,

probably 4 to 8.

The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.

As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example.

So, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking.

Well, the water in a soup broth, for example, is moving around a lot, and when it passes close to the air or touches the bowl, it loses heat. but the water in the tomato is mostly trapped - it doesn't swirl around with the rest of the broth when you scoop up a spoonful. So the water in the tomato doesn't come close to the air or the bowl as much and doesn't cool down as quickly.

It contains tomato so I personally would put it under vegetables and fruit.

it must mean it is rotting or where the vine holding the tomatoes left a huge mark.hope this helps.

Tomato paste with water as necessary, or tomato sauce.

The answer to this question is an interesting bit of tomato trivia. Technically a tomato is a fruit, since it is the ripened ovary of a plant. But in 1893 the supreme court ruled in the case of "NIX v. HEDDEN" tomatoes were to be considered vegetables.If you find this hard to believe here is a link to take you to the court ruling..http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=149&invol=304

For sure. V8 has a few more ingredients than tomato but will give a better flavour than just tomato's.

julian is one of the threadgoodes

Tomato's are normally grown in from Spring through Autumn. The month of production depends where you are in the world.

From a purchase perspective though, most countries have tomato's available throughout the year (as they can be imported), although the price may vary according to the amount of production and seasonality.

I found a recipe for them- was wondering the same thing, I haven't found anything else about it, but roasted tomatoes sounds good.

Unlike other plants, the tomato have very small and hard seeds. there are also some other types of fruits and vegetables that are related to the tomato, for example, the Kiwi fruit and the Guava. These fruits and vegetables are usually eaten with the fleshy part of the fruits and vegetables and then passed out of the body known as droppings. The bird droppings contain seeds which are scattered all over.

Most tomatoes are shipped green because the hard green tomatoes are less likely to become bruised during shipping. If your local market does not have actual green tomatoes on display, you can ask for them to be brought in for you. Speak with your produce manager in your favorite grocery store.

Just under 1 cup. As far as I know 1 cup = 226 grams.

throu out the growing season, let's say you started your tomato plant on the date of April 12th. Well I would let my tomato grow three weeks befor i gave it any firtilizer. then after the first feeding i would firtilize the tomato plant twice a month. Or once depends on the grower. Tomatoe plants need alot of calcium during flowering. So feed away brother!

The top is called the stem end and the bottom is called the bottom.

How big is the case?

8 oz of Pasta is equal to 5 cups of dry (uncooked) pasta or 1 lb (454 grams) of pasta

No, you should not eat spoiled food.
