Cherry tomato (Latin Solanum lycopersicum var.cerasiforme) - a garden variety of ordinary tomatoes.
History
Such an unusual variety of tomatoes was bred in 1973 in Israel. This amazing vegetable is good because it will not be difficult to grow it not only in the beds, but also in pots on the windowsills.
Description
The average weight of cherry tomatoes usually does not exceed thirty grams, and about two dozen fruits are often located on one cluster. As for the name of these miniature tomatoes, it is due to their external resemblance to cherries (translated from English, the word "cherry" means "cherry"). However, such tomatoes can have a completely different shape - elongated, round or drop-shaped. And their color can also vary greatly depending on the variety - there are both red and orange, yellow or green cherry tomatoes.
Application
Cherry tomatoes are incredibly popular in the healthiest Mediterranean cuisine - it is extremely difficult to find a dish there without these bright tomatoes. Most often they are used in canned food and in salads. True, there are varieties intended exclusively for drying - these tomatoes are actively used in the preparation of pizza, soups and some other dishes. It is difficult to imagine Italian, French or Spanish cuisine without these colorful vegetables. In addition to wonderful salads, excellent sauces are prepared with their addition. And, of course, it is the perfect decoration for a wide variety of dishes!
Tiny copies of common tomatoes are endowed with almost the same beneficial properties as their larger relatives. The vitamin K they contain, which actively promotes better absorption of calcium, significantly improves kidney function. And lycopene helps to significantly reduce the risk of developing not only cardiovascular diseases, but also cancer (stomach, intestines, esophagus and lungs). By the way, this element is not destroyed at all during heat treatment - on the contrary, its concentration even increases. And since lycopene is a fat-soluble element, it is recommended to season cherry tomatoes with vegetable oil.
These cute mini-copies of tomato also contain a hormone called seratotin, which is a great antidepressant and can have a positive effect on mood.
The systematic use of cherry tomatoes helps to timely replenish the loss of valuable minerals by the body - this property will certainly serve a good service in winter. Chromium in the composition of tomato crumbs allows you to almost instantly cope with a sudden feeling of hunger, and zinc contributes to the speedy healing of wounds and the formation of new skin cells.
The potassium found in cherry tomatoes helps to flush out excess fluid and is very good for the heart. And the low calorie content of these amazing vegetables allows you to calmly eat them even while losing weight. In addition, these tiny tomatoes are recommended for cardiovascular diseases and general loss of energy. And they are also great at helping to cope with anemia and various problems of the gastrointestinal tract.
Contraindications
Cherry tomatoes are not recommended for metabolic disorders. You should not feast on these bright fruits in case of peptic ulcer disease - organic acids contained in mini-tomatoes irritate the mucous membrane, significantly slowing down the healing process. People who are allergic to red vegetables and fruits should also avoid eating cherry crumbs. And with gallstone disease, the amount of consumed tomatoes will not hurt to reduce.
