Tomato, or tomato (scientific name: Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), is an annual or perennial herb belonging to the genus Solanaceae. It has a body height of 0.6-2 meters and all have viscous glandular hairs with a strong odor. The stems are easy to fall down and the leaves are pinnate. Or pinnate, deep, inflorescences pedicels 2-5 cm in length, often 3-7-flowered, calyx radial, corolla-radiate, berry oblate or subglobose, succulent and juicy, yellow-seeded, flower-and-fruit-phase summer-autumn . According to nutritionist research, it is determined that eating 50 to 100 grams of fresh tomatoes per person per day will satisfy the needs of the body for several vitamins and minerals. Tomato contains "tomato, inhibiting bacteria; containing malic acid, citric acid and sugar, tomato is rich in carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B and vitamin B2 and calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc Many elements such as copper, iodine, etc., also contain proteins, sugars, organic acids, cellulose, etc. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, and antioxidants can prevent free radicals from damaging the skin and have a significant anti-wrinkle effect. Because tomato has a lot of nutritional value, so many of my friends had only heard that the unripe green tomatoes were poisonous. Now that even mature tomatoes cannot be eaten raw, it scares many middle-aged and older people that they dare not take raw tomatoes (including Cherry tomato) When the fruit is eaten. The first thing I need to tell you is that most plants contain different amounts of toxic substances, which is the mechanism of plant self-protection. The ancestors tried all kinds of plants for us by using the method of “Shen Nong’s taste of a hundred herbsâ€. Those with low toxicity were selected as daily edible fruits and vegetables, and in the course of human cultivation and breeding, the content of harmful substances was gradually reduced. Therefore, it must be clear that the presence of toxins does not necessarily cause poisoning, and that the magnitude of toxicity is a dose-effect relationship, as long as the content is sufficiently low that it is safe. Solanaceae plants, including tomatoes, green peppers, eggplants, and potatoes, contain toxic alkaloids, but the content of mature tomatoes is very low, and raw pounds are unlikely to cause poisoning. The so-called "Americans do not eat raw tomatoes, like "No foreigners do not use microwave ovens, are pure rumors." People who like to eat cold tomatoes and cherry tomatoes continue to eat. In fact, the adverse reactions to certain foods can vary greatly from person to person. Just as some people eat a fava bean and die, one peanut is allergic, one prawns suffers from abdominal pain, and many foods such as potatoes, peppers, pineapple, and kiwifruit are also allergic or intolerant. Not to mention the blue tomatoes, even if the tomatoes are ripe, some people will eat more and they will have diarrhea. This shows that the body is not suitable for eating this kind of food, so for the time being, do not eat any more. Try again after a year or six months. But this does not mean that everyone cannot eat raw tomatoes. The rumors of health rumors are very similar to the rumors that eating mushrooms can cause heavy metal poisoning. There is no basis for compiling stories of dead people and illnesses after eating certain foods. They add a lot of scientific terms and use some foreign researchers. In order to increase the degree of trust and create a strong psychological effect, this does not change the nature of their rumors. It is very likely that they were purposely written to attract attention and increase the number of fans, but their effect is It is to increase the fear in people's lives, increase the psychological burden when eating, and make it more difficult to balance the diet. At the same time, it will also affect agricultural production and sales and harm the unblemished tomato farmers. Remind everyone that eating tomato should pay attention to the following points: 1, should not eat on an empty stomach. Fasting gastric acid secretion increased, due to the combination of a certain chemical substances contained in tomatoes and stomach acid is easy to form water-insoluble lump, eating often cause abdominal pain, causing stomach discomfort, stomach pain. 2, should not be eaten raw. Especially women with spleen and stomach deficiency and menstruation. Tomato contains a lot of soluble astringents and other ingredients, and react with gastric acid, condensed into insoluble lumps, easily lead to gastrointestinal fullness, pain and other symptoms. If you only eat tomato as a fruit supplement vitamin C, or in the summer heat and heat, it is better to eat raw. 3, not with cucumber, cucumber with food. Cucumber contains a vitamin C decomposing enzyme, which will destroy vitamin C in other vegetables. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C. If they are eaten together, they will not achieve the effect of supplemental nutrition. 4, can not be eaten raw. Unripe tomatoes (with blue tomatoes) contain a lot of special toxic substances. This special toxin is tomato base. The trace amount of tomato base has little effect on the human body, but if it is consumed too much, it will lead to poisoning. Happening. Symptoms of poisoning: fatigue, weakness, and feeling of nausea and vomiting. This is a lighter poisoning symptom. If it is serious, it can be life-threatening. 5, not long-term heating at high temperatures. Because lycopene is easily broken down by light, heat and oxygen, it loses its health-care effect. Therefore, prolonged high-temperature heating should be avoided during cooking. KOKEN Co., Ltd , https://www.hnb-maker.com
