Steemit Engagement Challenge S9W4: My Favorite Ingredients
What is my Favorite Ingredient?
My favorite ingredient is tomatoes. It is a multipurpose ingredient that goes with almost anything you want. Tomatoes have rich nutrients that are beneficial to the body when taken either fresh or as a paste.
Why do I like tomatoes
- Tomatoes protect the heart and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Eating raw tomatoes 🍅 helps proper digestion and prevents constipation.
- Tomato contains Vit. C which helps to support the system and protect the imbue system from viruses or intruders.
Is this ingredient often used at home?
Yes. My mom prefers fresh tomatoes for her meals, she uses the sachet or tin tomatoes to supplement the fresh or if the fresh tomato is little for what we want to prepare. Usually, we will buy it in large quantities, grind it into a paste, put it in the freezer for future use, and leave some fresh balls to garnish the meals. With the paste, it becomes easy when preparing any meal and we're not left stranded looking for tomatoes to use.
Is It expensive?
Being a seasonal fruit, it also affects the price. The price of tomatoes depends on the season. Usually, tomatoes are sold in different formats,
- By putting together 4 to 10 balls of tomatoes together.
- By selling it with a small bucket
- With a big basket mostly by traders.
When we want to buy the small bucket of tomatoes, the price ranges from N700:5 Ateems to N1500:10 Steems depending on the season. This period is not the season of tomatoes, so it is costly to buy the quantity that will be enough for a big family meal.
What can you prepare with tomatoes?
As I said above, tomatoes can be used to prepare a lot of things. Jollof Rice, Rice and stew, Yam Porridge, Egg Sauce, Tomato Sauce, Salad, Pasta, Macaroni, Pizza, Burger, Sharwama, the list is uncountable.
I invite @drhira, @beautyfair to participate in this contest
Todos los días se aprende algo nuevo, no sabía que el tomate tenía vitamina c, es uno de mis ingredientes favoritos también, siempre que voy al mercado trato de comprar para que me dure y poder usarlo de diferentes formas.
Lo que más me gusta es la pasta que se puede hacer con este ya que funciona para varias cosas como para aplicarla en pastas o en pizzas caseras, exitos.
