Talking about tomatoes

Speaking of tomatoes, we must first talk about its historical background, which is really tortuous. It is said that tomatoes are native to forests in South America, and the fruits of wild tomatoes are as big as peas and hung on branches in strings. The locals gave it a terrible name-Wolf Peach. For a long time, people turned pale when they talked about "Wolf Peach". /kloc-In the 6th century, the Spanish brought tomatoes to Europe and introduced them to France. When tomatoes came to France, people welcomed them in a warm and romantic way peculiar to France. Rodari, Duke of England, bravely picked a "Wolf Peach" as a gift for his lover Queen Elizabeth when he returned from Anaker Island. Since then, Wolf Peach has been named "Apple of Love" by Europeans. Until now, tomatoes have been regarded as ornamental plants. Until18th century, when a French painter sketched tomatoes, he saw their beautiful hibiscus and colorful berries, so he moved his desire to taste tomatoes and took a risk to eat one. After eating, he not only felt no discomfort, but felt sweet and sour. Since then, it has created a way to eat tomatoes.

Cucumber and tomato are incompatible.

Cucumber contains a vitamin C decomposing enzyme, which will destroy vitamin C in other vegetables. The more vitamin C content in food, the more serious it is destroyed by decomposing enzymes in cucumber. Tomatoes are typical vegetables rich in vitamin C. If we eat them together, the vitamin C we take from tomatoes will be destroyed by the decomposing enzymes in cucumbers, and the nutritional supplement effect will not be achieved at all.
