Pick-a-Tom cherry tomatoes
Canon EOS 6D - f/2.8 - 1/100sec - 100 mm - ISO 100
- The Pick-a-Tom cherry tomato is a (self pinching) bushy tomato plant. At the time of purchase, already 25 to 30 cherry tomatoes are growing on the plant and the first fruits are starting to develop their signature red color. You can instantly start picking your very own tomatoes. The plant is about 40 cm high. Perfect for on a windowsill, or when it gets warmer, outside on a terrace.
Tomatoes contain lycopene. Lycopene gives tomatoes their nice red color and even better, it helps protect you against cancer, heart and vascular problems and many other age related ailments.
Delicious when eaten directly after picking. But the tomatoes can also be used as an ingredient in many other dishes like pasta's and salads. These tomatoes are really juicy and also extremely healthy.
- Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable ?
To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable.
The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS? If the answer is yes, then technically, (botanically) you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your tomato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and pumpkins all fruits as well.
Along with the fruit from a plant or tree, we can often eat the leaves (lettuce,) stems (celery,) roots (carrots,) and flowers (broccoli.) Many of these other parts of the plant are typically referred to as VEGETABLES. Now don’t go looking for tomatoes next to the oranges in your grocery stores; fruits like tomatoes and green beans are usually (alas, incorrectly) referred to as “vegetables” in most grocery stores and cookbooks.
