First, let's figure out how to say tomato or tomato correctly? The fact is that many often say wrong, while trying to convey their wrong to everyone around. So, the culture is called a tomato, therefore, when it comes to how many plants are sown in percentage on protected ground, it is correct to say tomatoes. But the fruit itself is a tomato, which means that you buy tomatoes in the store, not tomatoes.
Tomatoes are one of the most widespread vegetables in the world; the tomato is the undisputed leader in terms of sown areas in greenhouses in the world. However, this does not apply to Russia, in this respect, cucumber has the palm in this respect, but this does not really change anything. In our country, one way or another, half of the dishes are prepared with tomatoes.
The name "tomato" comes from Italian and means "golden apple". Like dill, the fruits of this plant were not originally eaten, it was believed that they were even poisonous, but they were grown, like dill, for beauty.
Culture came to Russia in the 18th century, and we simply owe it to Andrey Bolotov, because he was able to achieve full ripening of the fruit in our conditions, otherwise they would have grown them in flower beds in gardens. The tomato contains just a colossal amount of useful micro and macro elements, it is simply not possible to list them makes sense, it is also rich in fiber, which is very important for those who are worried about their digestion and metabolism.
An interesting fact: today, disputes about what exactly the fruits of a tomato are: a berry, a fruit or a vegetable, still do not subside. For example, in the United States, a tomato is a vegetable; the population is guided by nothing more than a decision of the country's Supreme Court. He, in turn, was guided by the fact that tomatoes are not served as a dessert, which means they are a vegetable. Botanists, however, believe that fruits are nothing more than berries, and in Europe, tomatoes are generally a fruit. We call them vegetables, because the rule here is that berries are small fruits, which cannot be said about the size of a tomato.
And now about my interesting recipe for the perfect tomato salad that everyone will like. Of course, the reason is the "secret" ingredient.
Cooking a salad is very simple, you need fleshy tomatoes, onions and garlic. Cut the tomatoes the way you like, the onions can be cut into rings or half rings. Finely chop the garlic with a knife or grate.
But the "secret" ingredient is the Adyghe salt, which contains several types of peppers. Of course, you can also add some pepper separately to enhance the taste.
We fill everything with vegetable oil, I use unrefined sunflower oil, but you can also take olive oil.
That's all, of course, there is no miracle here, but you should definitely try to cook this yummy.
