Tomato Description
Tomato is a good product with both vegetables and fruits. It originated outside the territory and first entered China. Most people suspect it is poisonous because of its bright color, and they dare to eat it fresh.
Look at its shape, it is round and full, or big like a fist, or small like an egg, the epidermis is smooth and delicate, the color is bright, the red is like fire, and the pink is like a glow, which attracts attention. Its taste is slightly sour when born, sweet when ripe, and has a unique flavor.

Because of its strong adaptability, it can grow in all kinds of soils, so it is widely planted in the north and south. It can be seen in the fields and on the shelves in the shed.
Tomatoes are also related to chemicals. The ingredients they contain are extracted by fine chemicals and can be used as raw materials for many products. Such as lycopene, which has antioxidant properties and is often used in the production of health care products and cosmetics. Furthermore, in the processing of tomatoes, chemical principles are involved. From cleaning, crushing, concentration to canning, chemical technology runs through them to ensure their quality and flavor.
Farmers must be skilled in farming when planting. Choose good seeds, choose fertile soil, irrigate and fertilize in a timely manner, and prevent pests and diseases. When they are ripe, pick and sort them, or sell them in the market for people's meals; or send them to factories and transform them into various products through chemical processes to enrich the needs of the market. Although tomatoes are small, they are important to people's livelihood and chemical industry. They are indeed treasures bestowed by nature.
