The Tar Heel Kitchen b the tomato a fruit or a vegetable to you? According to the dictionary and botan ically it it a fruit. Among the fruits, the tomato is a berry being pulpy and containing one or more seeds that are not stones. Once one little boy spoke to me in concern when tomatoes were not dis cussed with vegetables for he had been growing them in his garden. Whether fruit, berry, or vegetable, Tar Heels enjoy tomatoes. What better time is there for you to indulge in our luscious fresh tomatoes than right now! Be sure to ask for and use North Carolina toma toes while at "their peak. The tomato growing business has increased greatly in recent years and in the western part at the State there are approx imately 2000 acres of trellis tomatoes. According to one of our men specialists, eastern Carolina tomatoes ire best for canning and western are possibly best for table use. If you have to shop for tomatoes, look for firm, well formed, plump, smooth fruit with good color. Allow un derripe tomatoes to ripen in doors at cool room tempera tures, but not on a hot sunny windowsill before placing in your refrigerator. The cold stops the ripening process thus only ripe tomatoes should be refrigerated. Enjoy tomatoes often, especially raw in salads, with sandwiches, or cold plates and relish trays Tomatoes are high in taste appeal while being low in calories and high in essential Vitamin C which is not stored ip the body but necessary daily.
