The way to distinguish naturally ripened 

tomatoes 🍅 😋 

In family meals, tomatoes are a staple.

 These days, many providers decide to 

spray tomatoes with chemicals to 

encourage ripe and attractive tomatoes. 

However, there is a serious risk to 

human health from this action. To 

safeguard the health of your family, be 

sure to identify tomatoes that are 

naturally ripened without the use of 

chemicals.

How to recognize naturally ripened 

tomatoes, without chemicals

+ Observe the color

Due to the sunlight shining on them from 

the beginning during the fruit’s 

development,  the color on a naturally 

ripened tomato is also completely even.

Meanwhile, forced ripened tomatoes 

will usually be fully ripe.

+ Look at the bottom of the tomatoes

Additionally, this serves as a “key” to 

differentiate real tomatoes from ones 

that have been chemically treated or 

are imitations.

Round, plump tomatoes with a little 

concave tip are often those that have a 

favorable growing environment and are 

matured organically.

Conversely, tomatoes with flaky heads or 

strangely shaped fruits are probably the 

result of chemically ripened tomatoes, 

poor growth circumstances, 

or incorrect fertilization.


+ Observe the tomato nipple

Tomatoes with dark green nipples, fresh, 

tight nipple branches, and slightly 

concave ends are naturally ripe, fresh 

tomatoes.

In contrast, if the fruit has a yellow or 

brown nipple, it isn’t a high-quality 

tomato. It has been treated with 

chemicals or may be old tomatoes, 

stored for days.


+ Check the weight of tomatoes

You may feel that naturally ripened 

tomatoes are softer when you hold 

them in your hand, whereas tomatoes 

that have been forced to ripen will 

frequently be tougher to squeeze if you 

try to extract the juice.
