#REDFRIDAY | #FOODCOLORCHALLENGE | 토마토

Hello everyone! A very #redfriday weekend to us. Sharing this red veggie, rather fruit, with you.

When i was a kid i called it an apple. Its red so it was an apple to my eye. 😂 I ate it raw and there were times that i added salt and vinegar with it. For me it tasted soooo good. It had the balance of salty sour and tangy. I like its texture when not fully ripe. It has the crunch and i dont like mushy ripe ones. Even if it isnt fully ripe you still get enough nutrients from it.

Lately, there have been an over production of tomatoes here. Since it is pandemic the farmers had no choice but to dump it. They cant sell and deliver it due to lack of buyers and restrictions. It was a waste of their efforts and food. I just hope that some sector or institution would help these farmers to make use of those good tomatoes. Instead of just harvest and sell, there should also be preservation as well. Make tomato sauce, ketchup or paste, the shelf life of it is longer than fresh tomatoes. With that alternative, it will generate additional income and a new industry for the community.

On the lighter side. Did you know that there is a korean childrens song about tomatoes? I learned about that in Vlive, Run BTS! Episode 31. The tomato song starts in 13:53. 😁
