Tomatoes had always been considered as fruit, but the confusion started when the Supreme Court declared that tomatoes were vegetables. My home state of New Jersey has actually named the tomato as its State Vegetable. (At least they know that tomato is a fruit). Ohio has also declared Tomato as its State Fruit. They have labeled tomato juice as their ‘State Drink’. The state of Ohio has taken the love for tomatoes to a whole new level. The weight of the largest tomato ever picked was 3.5 kilos (6.6lbs.).Įven after tomatoes have been harvested, they will keep on gaining weight as they keep on ripening. The world’s tallest tomato plant grew to be 65 feet tall (19.8 meters).
The plant gave 32,194 tomatoes between the period May 2005 and April 2006. That’s bigger than an Olympic-size swimming pool. How big can a tomato plant can grow? The world record of being the largest tomato plant goes to a single plant spread over an area of 56.73 square meters. In addition to red tomatoes there are also white, black, purple, pink and yellow ripe tomatoes. There are 10,000+ varieties of tomatoes in the world! Wolf Peach is the literal translation of the scientific name of tomatoes – Lycopersicon lycopersicumĩ4.5% of the weight of a typical tomato is nothing but water! Second spot goes to bananas and third to apples, followed by oranges and watermelons, respectively, in 4th and 5th spot. With an annual production of 60 million tons, they remain the world’s most demanded and most popular fruit. Tomatoes are fruits! Botanically, they are not vegetables. Just make sure to check them daily for ripeness. If you buy unripened tomatoes, you can speed up the ripening process by wrapping them in a sheet of newspaper and keeping them on the kitchen counter for a few days. Therefore, locally grown tomatoes may taste better because they’re allowed to ripen naturally. This process inhibits the development of natural flavor and may result in tasteless tomatoes To make them red before selling, food companies spray them with artificial ethylene gas. When tomatoes start to ripen, they produce a gaseous hormone called ethyleneĬommercially grown tomatoes are harvested and transported while still green and immature. This is actually the second load we’ve received from them, and there’s a promise of a third to come soon! Here is a gift from one of our friends that went into making the recipes in this post. (It’s a good thing we have good friends who are good gardeners, because I don’t seem to have much luck growing tomatoes. It’s almost like Christmas when your friend has a bumper crop of tomatoes, can’t possibly use them all, and presents you with a load of them. This is also the time when you find out who your true friends are. My mother used to say that she would bring the salt shaker out to the garden, because she couldn’t wait to bite into them! The player character can also combat with her to pry the knife from her hand.Yes!! It’s Here! It’s Homegrown Tomato Season!Īll year long, as we suffer through dull, tasteless Winter tomatoes – we can’t wait for late summer when the homegrown tomatoes in our area ripen up for our enjoyment. This is further backed up in the main game when Karin becomes a Turnip Chompette. In the Appetizer ending, it is revealed that the Chompettes were the spirits of a previous group that were murdered in the basement.
In one, she and the player character become a couple and feed off travelers to the cabin. From there comes a variety of different endings. After ruthlessly bullying Anatoly into leaving the cabin such as by mocking his illiteracy, Anatoly is killed, leaving the protagonist, Karin, and Gregor as the sole survivors.īecoming increasingly ghoulish, Karin cuts Gregor in half with little effort before turning her murderous hunger towards the protagonist. Shortly after that, Karin appeared to become stronger every time she ate human flesh. The first to leave the camp was Mariah, and her body was taken to the basement to be harvested. Soon, they were resorting to eating mice, but even then, it wasn't enough. The group, comprising of the protagonist, Karin, Anatoly, Mariah, and Gregor, struggle to survive in the cabin, but their rations gradually began to dwindle. While there, a storm hits the cabin resulting in her and the others getting stranded. Karin was a part of a group of hiking refugees (likely escaping from Ukraine during the Holodomor in order to flee to neighboring Poland) that ended up going to a cabin. What brought her some semblance of joy was uncovering people's weaknesses so she could exploit them. Karin was someone who would be very cynical and was known for killing the mood wherever she went.
