Did you know the first person in the world to eat tomatoes?

The tomato used to grow in the forests of Peru.Because it is gorgeous and attractive, people are afraid of it toxic, only appreciate its beauty and dare not eat it.In the 16th century, the duke of England, erodagri, brought back a tomato plant from South America as a present to his lover, queen Elizabeth.From then on, the tomato fell to Europe, but still no one dared to eat it.At the time, British doctors warned that eating tomatoes could be life-threatening.If colonel Robert, an American, hadn't taken the first step, people would still not know what a tomato tastes like. 

In 1830, Robert brought back several young tomato plants from Europe and planted them on land in his hometown of Salem, New Jersey.But when the tomatoes are ripe, none of them can be sold because they are considered poisonous.Robert had to announce to the whole town that he would eat ten tomatoes in public to see if they were poisonous.The townspeople were frightened by Robert's "wild talk".One of the doctors predicted that this strange colonel must be impatient with life, and must die of his own folly. 

It was Robert's tomato day.Thousands of residents of the town flocked to the courthouse to see how he killed himself with a tomato.At twelve o 'clock noon colonel Robert appeared.Dressed in a black suit and smiling, he slowly walked up the steps. Then he took a red tomato from the little basket and held it up to show the crowd.After a few thousand pairs of eyes had proved it to be true, he took a bite out of the tomato in full view of the public, praising its taste as he chewed.When Robert took the second bite, several of the women fainted on the spot.A moment later, all 10 tomatoes were eaten by Robert, who was still standing on the steps, waving to everyone.The crowd gave him a round of applause and the band played a triumphal song for him. 

Robert's action proved that the tomato was not poisonous.The tomato became famous and spread all over the world.Then they analyzed the main ingredients of the tomato and proved that it was a very nutritious vegetable with many vitamins. So they took it out of the park and planted it in the garden.

When growing such a beautiful and delicious tomato, sunlight, management, land and fertilizer cannot be ignored.As for fertilizers, I would like to recommend lemandou water-soluble fertilizer with advanced technology, pure raw materials, good water-solubility, long fertilizer duration and strong absorption and transformation ability.Balance fertilizer can be used at the early stage, and high potassium fertilizer can be used at the stage of tomato turning color and raising fruit, which can produce high yield and taste more delicious with fast turning color.

If go back hundreds of years, do not know tomatoes can be eaten, in the face of this beautiful and attractive "Wolf peach", you will be the first to eat tomatoes?
