Record 3 2004-06-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fruits and Vegetables (Types and Processing - Food Ind.)
CONT

Leafy vegetables take a lot of nitrogen, beans and peas add nitrogen, fruiting vegetables (tomato, pepper, eggplant) soak up phosphorus, and root vegetables use a lot of potassium. So at a particular spot, you might grow a leafy vegetable one year, then a fruiting vegetable, then a root vegetable, then a pea or bean, and finaly back to a leafy vegetable.

  • Fruits et légumes (Types et traitement - Alimentation)
CONT

Le mot «tomate» est une déformation du mot inca Tomalt; les Incas ont étendu leur domination sur les plateaux andins du XIIe au XVIe siècle et ont donné ce nom à ce fruit; c'est du Pérou que la tomate est partie en Europe où a eu lieu sa transformation étymologique. Nous retrouvons au Mexique le terme Jitomalt en Nahualt Lycopersicum signifie en latin «Pêche de loup», appellation peu alléchante à laquelle on a ajouté au XVIIIe siècle l'adjectif esculentum à cause des propriétés gustatives de ce légume-fruit jusqu'alors trop souvent malmené par l'opinion.
