Tomatoes: Popular and nutritious

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent, Home Ec The tomato is the most popular home garden vegetable. Native to South America, it was taken to Europe by early explorers, where it became known as the “Apple of Love” in France and Italy. Thomas Jefferson produced it for his guests in 1781. However, it was not until 1835 that the tomato was generally cultivated in the United States. Before then, many people considered it to be highly poisonous. Tomatoes are highly nutritious.

provide as much vitamin C as half a grapefruit. Tomatoes also contain vitamin A and small amounts of magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, iron, copper and cobalt. In the past, many people have been concerned regarding the acid-content of tomatoes. Today’s tomatoes are similar in acid content to most older varieties. Several so-called “low acid” tomatoes are actually not low in acid, but high in sugar, which makes the tart, acid flavor of the tomato. One myth that people believe, is that white and yellow fleshed tomatoes are lower in acid than red tomatoes. This misconception is not based on scientific research. The color indicates a different variety, but processing is the same. It has been known for several years that the acid content of a tomato is highest when the tomato is ripe and ready to pick. If a tomato is allowed to become overripe and soft, the acid content will be lower and may not be high enough to prevent the formation of the botulinum toxin. Overripe tomatoes whose skins have broken or those with soft spots, decay, or mold, should not be preserved. These tomatoes have less acid than firm, just ripe tomatoes. The acid content of hundreds of varieties of tomatoes used for home canning has been tested. All tested varieties contained enough acid to be safely canned in a boiling-water-bath if recommended procedures are used. However, one-fourth teaspoon of citric acid or one tablespoon of lemon juice may be added for each pint of tomatoes. As a result of United States Department of Agriculture canning research, the following

recommendations for canning tomatoes have been made. These changes are considerable and should be attached to your canning book: 1. Recommendations for raw pack have been deleted. 2. Processing times for hot pack tomatoes are 35 minutes for pint jars and 45 minutes for quart jars. 3. Recommendations for number 2 cans and number cans will be the same as for glass jars in both tomatoes and tomato juice. The tomato juice recommendations in glass will be 35 minutes for both pints and quarts. \ Lakeland Local Capt. Patrick D. Finton and wife have returned to their home in Glendale.
