Tomatoes are some of the most useful vegetables. They are a source of vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B4, vitamin B5, folic acid, phosphorus, copper, manganese, calcium, iron and a bunch of other valuable substances.
Tomatoes help in the treatment of anemia, inflammation of various kinds, heart problems. They successfully fight fatigue and stress, and also help relieve muscle spasms.
These are all good reasons to eat red juicy vegetables regularly. When we can't make our own tomatoes, we have to buy them from the retail chains. But as we well know, more tomatoes offered there are characterized by a lack of taste. However, the experience of scientists shows that this problem can be solved in the future.
Researchers led by the US Department of Agriculture have begun to look at ways to make store-bought tomatoes more palatable, Gizmag reports.
Experts explain that the characteristic smell of tomatoes grown in a normal environment is obtained during ripening. However, red vegetables offered in retail chains are grown and stored in such a way that the smell cannot be formed.
As the coupes tomatoes they travel hundreds of kilometers (and sometimes more) until they reach the respective commercial sites, their transportation in a mature state is too risky.
Therefore, they are detached while still green and treated with special substances to stimulate their further maturation. In addition, they are subjected to cooling. Researchers have found that it is this cooling that is responsible for the blandness of vegetables.
However, scientists conducted an interesting experiment to combat the problem. Instead of cooling green tomatoes, they immersed them for five minutes in water with a temperature of 52 degrees Celsius. Only then did they cool them. At the end of the experiment, the specialists found that these tomatoes were more fragrant and had a more pleasant taste than the others in the control group.
