Disadvantages: Do not taste as good cooked, though still very nice.

Tomatoes are that funny out fruit usually served as a vegetable. They also happen to be my favourite fruit, and with this review, I plan to give a basic introduction to tomatoe dining, and I hope I can inspire more people to come and love this fruit. I always remember being very shocked to find my girlfriend didn't like tomatoes - how can you not like them!

Tomatoes are fleshy fruits, containing a big round seed sack around a core. They are very juicy, and when you bite into one, it is normal for seeds and water to spurt out all over you. Tomatoes start their lives as green fruits, but as they ripen, turn to scarlet red. I prefer tomatoes just as they mature, whilst they are still hard. Biting into a hard tomatoe seems to taste sharper and fresher than a squishy old tomatoe than is very ripe indeed.

I am not a massive fan of cooked tomatoes, relative to my love of raw ones. Tomatoes sliced up on a plate and covered in salt and vinegar, or just salt or perhaps even lemon juice are very popular favourite of mine, and I believe that this is something that they serve up in Mediterranean countries. This dish can further be improved, my mixing in a small amount of very finely chopped onion.

Tomatoes like to grow in hot climates, and they are especially magical when one travels abroad, especially to countries like the south of France. They can however be grown in grow bags in the UK, and they will be among the freshest tomatoes you will ever taste if you eat them straight off the plant. Tomatoes are in factr quite a diverse group, with big ones, small ones, vine tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and are the staple of salads everywhere. This is a highly under-rated fruit, one that I love, and one that I highly recommend people eat more of. I am sure they are full of anti oxidants.

Summary: As you might guess, I'm a bit of a tomatoe fan, buy tomatoes, they taste good, and are good for you
