Do you like tomato? I like it very much.In my opinion, tomato is a special vegetable which can be regarded as fruit as well. Sometimes, I enjoy it with refined white sugar, sometimes I cook a popular Chinese meal, which calls scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Besides, when I an lazy to do any change on it, eating a whole tomato directly is also delicious.
Working in Zhengzhou First Industry, I learned more details about the tomato, from farm to market, especially the washing sorting and packing steps for fresh fruit.
Before sold in the supermarket or vegetable market with the best situation, a normal tomato may experienced a lot than your imagination. In First Industry, there are major 2 steps for a fresh tomato.
First, washing. Growing in the farm, pesticides, dust, sand, soil, many dirty things may sticky on the surface, which may influence the sales situation. Thus washing is necessary, no matter with water or simple brushes cleaning.
Second, drying. It is not only necessary after washing, also help to remove some impurities and dirty water.
Third, grading. Size sorting and weight sorting both available. Single grading function help to sell tomatoes better. While a complete washing drying grading line helps to work for the boutique sales route, especially display on the showcase in the supermarket.
