Oregon State University has rolled out the “Indigo Rose.” It’s a dark purple tomato OSU grew using natural genetics, rather than lab engineering. OSU has been looking into dark tomatoes for years, in part because they tend to be high in antioxidants.
Jim Myers is a professor of vegetable breeding and genetics at OSU. He says there’s no proof that the indigo rose is better for you, based on its high concentration of antioxidants. But he says it is striking.
Myers explains, “It is really a different tomato. The color – and not only the fruit is dark purple, but the foliage will be much more purple. On top of that, it’s just a really nice-eating tomato.”
Myers says the tomato’s unusual look means growers should be careful not to pick it too early. He says it grows to the size of a golf ball, and will lose a little of its shine, when it’s ready to pick.
Myers says at least four seed companies are selling the Indigo Rose.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese… who didn’t grow up eating this staple comfort food combo? This gourmet Italian-inspired version will delight your adult taste buds and transport the kid in you back to a time when someone else washed the dishes.
Tomatoes are an enigma. While many people think they’re a vegetable, tomatoes are actually a fruit. They’re also one of the few veggies that can get healthier when they’re cooked by providing a higher concentration of lycopene, which can help fight prostate, stomach and colorectal cancers!
Diabetics will love the tomato’s chromium content, which can help them regulate blood sugar. Tomatoes also contain chlorogenic and coumaric acids, which helps smokers in the elimination of carcinogens. A tomato’s vitamin B and potassium content helps lower your blood pressure, reducing the likelihood of strokes and heart attacks. A rich source of vitamin A, they’re also great for your eyes and skin.
But made into tomato soup and combined with a grilled cheese sandwich, they’re an amazing way to improve the health of your bones and teeth. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin K, which is vital to the health of bones and teeth. And since cheese is an excellent source of calcium, this Italian-style tomato soup recipe and grilled cheese recipe will make your body and your inner-child happy and healthy.

Now mash the soup with a food masher/blender. Add the cream and cheese, and allow the cheese to melt. Finally add the beans and the prepared noodles. Enjoy

tomato juice
Image by postbear
i bought five or six pounds of tomatoes the other day in order to make some sauces. the basic formula was the same, with minor variations: i cut the tomatoes in quarters into big glass lasagne pans with olive oil and one head of garlic (broken into individual cloves) per pan. the four pans got salt and pepper, celery seed and bay leaves, along with either thyme, rosemary, oregano or a couple of chili peppers. roasted at 400F for one hour, then taken out briefly to mash up the solid bits and make sure the paper on the garlic and the herb stems were coated with juices and not burning, then down to 225F for another two or three hours.
i strained the resulting sauce to separate the more solid elements from the oily water – the solids made great sauce and the liquid portion is what you see here. i drink it on its own (a bit dense but very good in small doses), but it’s a better mix. i like redeyes (beer and tomato juice) and this roasted juice is a thousand times better than commercial tomato juice in one. it also inspires mixing with a better beer and shaving in some horseradish. it also works as a bloody mary mix.
i had so much of the liquid left that i cooked up some rice and beans in it as well. now tomatoes are coming into season….

INDIANAPOLIS – The middle of the week is a difficult time to consider menu planning, and if you’ve fallen off the menu wagon, it’s good to have a few staple meals in your back pocket.
One of my family’s favorites across the board is tomato soup. A lot of folks give tomato soup a bad rap, and I can see why. The canned version, no matter how you try and fancy it up, leaves a lot to be desired. And kids think, “Oh wait, this reminds me of the school cafeteria.”
That’s where this recipe proves those fears to be empty, and gives you another reason to be a kitchen hero. Also, it only adds to it’s awesomeness as a super healthy meal! Sweet, roasted tomatoes, rich garlic and fragrant fresh basil truly make this a perfect, comforting weeknight meal.
It’s usually a huge ordeal trying to find things the kids want to eat, and knowing I can quickly whip up this delicious, healthy soup just makes me smile. It also allows some of your own relaxation time while it’s cooking. This is a very big plus for most parents.
How-To:
The Ingredients:
1 lb. quartered Roma tomatoes
4 cups of canned stewed tomatoes – no salt added
10 cloves garlic
1 cup diced onion
4 oz. chopped fresh basil
¼ cup + 2 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. coarse sea salt
2 tbs. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup red wine
The tomatoes
Preheat oven to 400F.
You’ll want use both fresh and canned tomatoes to save some time. Start off by tossing the quartered Roma tomatoes in a large bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil, coarse grain sea salt, and cracked pepper. Spread tomatoes in one layer on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast for approximately 45 minutes.
Go ahead and put the four cups of stewed tomatoes into a large stockpot.
Everything else
I find garlic tastes better (to me) when coarsely chopped. You’ll want the garlic’s flavors to open up while cooking, so smash each clove with the side of your knife, peel off the skin and chop. Dice up your onion pretty small, just a little larger than your garlic.
For the spices, I like to chiffonade my basil. You’ll need about 4 oz. Chop and set aside.
How to chiffonade
After you’ve sliced and diced, heat up a large sauté pan on medium high. You can test the heat by touching the surface of the pan. Once you have to pull your fingertip away from the heat, add 2 big tbs. of olive oil. Swirl around the oil to cover the bottom well, and then add your onions and garlic. You’ll want to let them sear for about 30 seconds then turn the heat down to medium low.
Once they seem translucent, add them to your stockpot.
Everything in one pot
In your stockpot, add the roasted tomatoes, basil and remaining olive oil, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a low boil for about a minute. Add the red wine, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes.
Once the soup has cooked down, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. If you have plenty of time and are without an immersion blender, you can cool the soup and run through your food processor in batches until you get the consistency you are looking for.
Serve up this warm, rich soup with a sprinkle of fresh basil, Twinkle’s Easy-Peasy Paninis and enjoy a quiet evening at home with the family.

Twinlab Tomato Lycopene, 60 Softgels (Pack of 2)Lucky Lee has been selling vine-ripened Florida tomatoes for decades, mainly to restaurants in winter. Now she has a new one, a hefty crimson beefsteak. It’s meaty, juicy, flavorful and, yes, a winter tomato that’s actually worth buying. Called the Tasti-Lee, it is a hybrid developed by Jay Scott, a tomato breeder at the University of Florida. The Lee part of the name, though, has nothing to do with Ms. Lee, the distributor who has just introduced them in the New York area; Mr. Scott named the tomato in honor of his late mother-in law, Leocadia Czarnomski.
Tasti-Lee tomatoes come two to a package, about a pound, for $ 2.50 until mid-February, and $ 3.50 after that, at Agata & Valentina, Eataly, Gourmet Garage and at Tarry Market in Port Chester, N.Y. They are available by the case (24 packages of two tomatoes each) for $ 56, plus shipping, from www.baldorfood.com.

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? The popular response is that a tomato is a fruit because it grows from the ovary in the base of a flower and contains the seeds of the plant; however, chefs and others practising in the culinary arts have a differing opinion predicated on the use of tomatoes in the cooking process. Their belief is that a tomato is a vegetable because of its savoury qualities.
So what is the correct answer? Should a tomato be classified based on its appearance or how it is used? Legal opinion would concur with the latter.
While the “great tomato debate” may appear to have no correlation to business law, the argument does bear some similarity to an ongoing concern faced by many businesses when they procure the services of a third party. At the onset of a working relationship, a business may struggle whether to classify the individual as an employee or as an independent contractor. The difference between the two requires a thorough examination, as the obligations owed to an employee are significantly greater. Appearances alone cannot be relied upon, as titles and/or contractual arrangements in of themselves have no significance on the determination of an employee.
For instance, merely stating that the arrangement is a contract for services between a client and an independent contractor is insufficient evidence that a person is an independent contractor for a government agency like the Canada Revenue Agency.
Remittance
Employers are obligated to deduct income at source and remit government premiums (i.e. EI, CPP) from an employee’s income. Under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, an employer also has an affirmative duty to register all employees within 10 days of starting the business and remit WSIB premiums on account of the employee. There is no room for error. Incorrectly categorizing an employee can result in these government agencies taking action against your business. This may result in the payment of unremitted taxes, penalties, interest and other sanctions.
Statutory protections to employees
In addition, a business should not overlook the protections afforded to employees under the Employment Standards Act (Ontario). A party cannot contract out of these rights and a court or tribunal may not look favourably towards a business that unilaterally designated an individual as an independent contractor, particularly if the right violated would equate to discrimination (i.e. failure to recognize pregnancy or parental leaves of absence).
Categorization
In making the determination if a worker is an employee or an independent contractor, the courts will examine various factors, including:
• the level of control the payer has over the individual;
• the extent to which the individual controls his or her work schedule;
• the exclusivity of the working relationship between the payer and the individual;
• whether or not the payer provides the tools, equipment, office space, or administrative assistance;
• the degree of financial risk taken by the individual;
• the degree of responsibility held by the individual;
• the individual’s opportunity for profit;
• and any other relevant factors, such as written contracts.
To avoid a legal consequence that is akin to receiving a rotten tomato, a business should review the totality of facts and circumstances regarding a working relationship prior to engaging the services of any individual. Whether it is a fruit or vegetable, a rotten tomato is still a rotten tomato.

About LycopeneLycopene is an antioxidant carotenoid found in many fruits and vegetables as a red pigment. Lycopene levels in the body decline with age, with higher body weight, and with smoking. Epidemiological studies show that high intake of lycopene-containing vegetables correlates with low incidence of certain types of cancer. For example, in Italy the consumption of tomato products decreases the risk of digestive tract cancer. Research suggests that lycopene supplementation can reduce the risk of cancers of the lung, digestive tract, bladder, prostate, cervix and skin. It has recently been found that some of lycopene?s anti-cancer effects require the presence of other substances found in tomato-skin extracts. This is why LifeLink?s lycopene product contains a variety of tomato-derived compounds in addition to lycopene itself. Lycopene?s activity against prostate cancer is associated with its ability to suppress the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Macular degeneration also declines in frequency with higher lycopene consumption. So does cardiovascular disease, as was shown in a study of American and European men: the men with low levels of lycopene were twice as likely to have a heart attack as those with high levels. Lycopene is thought to slow the body?s cholesterol production and to decrease the conversion of cholesterol into LDL (bad) cholesterol.
