Tomatos
THE tomato seems to occupy a position half way between fruit and vegetables.
It contains very valuable food elements and is one of the most excellent articles in the salad class.
Its principal food property is carbohydrate.
In addition to this it contains a most valuable acid that acts in the nature of a solvent, which aids in the digestion of other foods.
The tomato should be used only when thoroughly ripe and if the skins are eaten, it should be masticated to infinite fineness.
A beautiful and delicious salad can be made by skinning the small smooth tomato, chill on ice and cut into quarters or eighths, serve on romaine or lettuce and eat with whipped cream or salad dressing.
