First of all, let's decide for what purpose we need tomatoes. Large pink tomatoes are great in salad, but not good for gravy or canning. Graceful tiny cherry blossoms will decorate the dish, add sophistication, emphasize nobility.
Instructions
Step 1
Pink, yellow, red meaty and striped tomatoes are ideal for fresh consumption, for example, you can make a salad with them. Such tomatoes have a sweet taste, they are moderately juicy, with a dense plump pulp and thin skin.
Juicy red cream tomatoes with thick skin, pronounced aroma, juicy are perfect for making various sauces and gravies. Their taste is sweet and sour. Such tomatoes go well with basil, both red and green, with garlic and various cheeses.
Step 2
Small red tomatoes with a plump elastic skin without damage are suitable for preservation. Although for the preparation of tomato juice, fruits are also suitable, the skin of which has burst.
Step 3
First of all, when choosing tomatoes, you should focus on their appearance. Smooth, beautiful skin, free from dents, cuts, spots and other damage. Tomatoes well-ripened on bushes do not have a stalk, since it is easily separated from a ripe fruit.
Fresh, only from the garden, tomatoes have a strong characteristic smell. Greenhouse tomatoes, like those ripened in boxes, have practically no smell. And in terms of taste, they are inferior to soil tomatoes ripening in the sun, and with a large gap.
And, of course, tomatoes bought in the market from a neat, affable seller are better and tastier than those purchased from a gloomy slob.
