Kumato

Kumato is grown in Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Canada and Mexico by specially selected growers. The Kumato is a trade name given to the variety of tomato developed in Spain called "Olmeca".

Kumatoes have a stronger, harder skin than a regular tomato, and therefore a longer shelf life. Kumato type tomatoes are considered gourmet tomatoes.

Personally, kumato taste different. It even tasted bland for me. I guess because I am used to the taste of regular tomatoes. We were just curious when we saw these kumato in the grocery store that was why we bought and tried it.

Fried Green Tomatoes

It has been a while since I last made fried green tomatoes. This is one of our favorite side dish. The reason why it is seldom that I make fried green tomatoes is its price. Green tomatoes or tomatoes for that matter has gotten very expensive. It is rare that you can find fresh green tomatoes at an affordable price.

When we saw a bucket of green tomatoes (6 pieces in it) for just $2 I bought it right away. That evening, I made fried green tomatoes.

It is easy to make this dish. Just slice the green tomatoes and dredge in corn meal then fry.

Fresh Tomatoes

Freshly picked tomatoes. This was given to me by a friend who harvested their tomatoes few weeks ago. These tomatoes are really sweet.

Fresh Tomatoes

I went to the Mexican Store today to buy some fresh tomatoes. Their tomatoes are fresher and are priced almost half the price of the other grocery stores.

I only need one or two for my dish but I bought a few more because hubby likes to munch on these fresh tomatoes.
