Tomato Ping!..................
An Italian apple day keeps the doctor away.
luv maters
but the stuff that they sell as tomatoes in the grocery store is a crime
Absolutely. There are some, including the renowned Dr. Gundry, who consider tomatoes, a member of the nightshade family, seriously bad for you.
I’m not sure about gut health, but they sure do improve the flavor of toast, bacon, lettuce and mayo! Especially taken all at once.
Tomatoes are too acidic. As much as I’ve loved tomatoes the doctor said stop eating them.
shifted to a more favorable profile.
So how do you know what a more favorable pig microbe profile is?
That said, this paisano must have gut microbes that sing Verdi...
Tomato flu has broken out in India.
I miss my homegrown tomatoes from last summer. When I don’t have homegrown I usually buy Roma tomatoes because they seem to be reliable and relatively inexpensive. I do eat a lot of tomatoes plus canned tomatoes in soup etc.
Potatoes and eggplants are also nightshades. Try a grilled tomato half on your breakfast plate. Yummy.
My problem is gout is supposedly worse when consuming tomatoes. My off and on gout attacks don’t seem to be triggered by anything but big storms coming through.
A shame because I love tomatoes in all forms. Many times the gout isn’t triggered so I get to have some.
Eating fresh, homegrown tomatoes improves your life in general!
Bkmk
I think some people are sensitive to something in nightshade, but not all people. Several years ago I read nightshade can cause leg pain and stiffness in people, so I stopped eating them and within three weeks, my pain had ended.
There are times when by mistake I eat something that turns out to have nightshade (usually paprika or red pepper flakes) and the pain comes right back.
However, most people I know do not have this problem, so I think it is an individual thing.
And it is **** such **** a problem! So many foods have nightshade, and I really love potatoes and peppers!
The tomatoes were ultimately not that good for the pigs, who probably were slaughtered after the experiment.
A round slice of beefsteak tomato, with a round slice of Florida orange layered on top, smothered with thick melty mozzarella. Yum.
Check iron is good
