The completely outdated for the Northern Hemisphere tribute to the tomato fruit composition and its qualities is completed in this third part. With great excitement and chill (from the cold), the editorial team of “Kalliergeia”sends racing greetings to the heroically toiled and labored tomato producers of the Southern Hemisphere, who, in times of unbearable heat, stand on cultivation when the same moment, the majority of tomato consumers enjoy their summer holidays.
Happy Summer.

Finally, the scientific community ruled that tomato is a fruit. This cognitive conquest has some consequences. Since tomato is a fruit then the tomato plant is a tree. The tomato grower or the amateur grower by planting tomatoes creates forests. Forest of tomatoes. Tomato-tree forests can be a further option for urban greening and the improvement of living conditions of populations, particularly in large urban centers and out-of-the-way large cities.
Faced with the prospect of its forests, the quality characteristics of tomato fruit and the composition of their fruit gain another dimension. Spacetime expands tomato-like.
Damned tomatoes.

In the USA, the tomato is called ‘the poor man’s orange’ because of its low price and high concentrations of vitamin C, as well as citric and malic acid.
In many areas of the South they could call orange as ‘the poor man’s tomato’ because of their sometimes unjustified or justifiably high price.
But either in the South or in the North, the nutritional value of tomatoes is recognized as significant. The last few years have been flourishing the research about the medicinal uses of its fruit.
Starting from the composition of the tomato fruit and its qualitie characteristics will be attempted in a series of articles presenting these aspects of tomato, others that rank fruit and others in vegetables, but all agree that it is called tomato.

Except for a member of the editorial team. This member believes, after excessive alcohol consumption, that there is no agreement about the name. His disagreement is recorded and he is delivered to the lions.
