Very informative. Just ordered an upright freezer so this will come in handy. Tomatoes are a wonder food.

[@c.bellessis]

This was so comforting to watch; thank you!

[@mrssawilson54]

I love all your videos. You are one smart country gal. I was born in San Francisco, California. Just wanted to tell you you are awesome!!!!

I've always used the whole tomato, except for the skin, when making a chunky marinara sauce. We can buy the best canned tomatoes in the world, but they don't hold a candle to a fresh tomato sauce. So good! My mother used to can the completed tomato sauce. I've never duplicated how good that was! She also canned eggplant in which she included that sauce and fresh basil. I wish I knew her method for this. She also canned the eggplant with vinegar and Italian herbs.

I have heard Phyllis that if one scores the top of the tomato to be skinned the peel comes off easier. Score a small X just cutting through the skin on the stem side of the tomato.

Great info, Amazon had fruit flow when. I checked today. Have heard grape seed extract good for heart health for years,but never heard about tomato gel. I don't take seeds out when I can tomatoes anymore,too much work and I never minded having them in sauce. I was most interested in the memory health tomato gel is said to promote. As a retiree keeping sharp is a concern as well as heart health. I think I'm willing to give this a try, We need to keep on top of our health. I

[@kimbelcher5685]

Fantastic info Phyllis. I have been on aspirin therapy for some time now and I for one am very interested in the information you have uncovered. I go for my check up as well soon and will take a copy of this info with me. Very good video and info on your tomatoes as well. Thanks so much Phyllis. :)

🙋🏻‍♀️Hey Phyllis, Candy here from Oklahoma... I’m going to get a bunch of onions put away before they go south! First I want to say thank you for actually using your camera while filming, meaning moving your camera to show us different angles of what you doing... it does help me to get the bigger picture... ❤️! Love your videos, and have made many of your recipes. We all love the angel biscuits, vegetable soup, rice pudding. You have a great day. I’ve got to call my daughter to barrow her “Videllia Chopper” Chat with you later (cwyl)🇺🇸🎊🎆

[@lesleyparis2314]

I love your videos. I have a big upright freezer and I am learning all kinds of food to prep and freeze I never thought of freezing. I use a lot of onions and celery as well and I hate it when I find wilted celery in the fridge and I am getting ready to make a soup or stew.I put onions in everything but toothpaste. LOL.

[@ms.rubyj.4259]

Girl, you know you silly! LOL I put garlic in everything - except milk!

[@robertalee2]

I put my tomatoes and my peache in an old pillow case when I scald them. I think it is quicker and easier to do. I look for easy and things that save me time.

[@lucciatorrisi637]

I don't go to doctors and I don't take meds and I'm going to be 90 this year 2 wks b/4 Christmas.

[@PhyllisStokes]

Sounds like you must be doing something right to soon be 90 years old. Great!

[@barbneuhauser4996]

Mrs. Phyllis could you teach us how to make tomato preserves , my mother always made them and were so so Delicious . Thank you so much I've learned so much , much love to you and Mr. Buckey

[@sharonnoles5039]

I enjoy watching your video. I always eat the seeds

[@zakittyslair]

love the info, will check out that seed supplier for sure. If I had that many tomatoes at once I would can them to juice, we use a ton of it for sauces and soups. My freezer is so full, I need a second one.

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

I never peel my frozen tomatoes. Just wash, cut out any bad parts and then bag and freeze. I do not cook them first. Then when you have time, you can cook them, skins and all and run them through the food mill or food processor or even the Kitchen Aid juicer. You can make tomato juice or salsa or whatever with them. We had so many tomatoes last summer that we ran out of time and energy! My daughter ended up putting the ones we could not can in her freezer. In years past, when I was canning a lot and had a lot of tomatoes, they went in the freezer then in the middle of winter I thawed them on my wood burning stove, cooked them up and made them into juice, no peeling or anything, just take out the bad parts before you freeze them. I guess if you wanted your tomatoes for soups and not juice then you would have to peel and core. Do you do any canning Phyllis? I have had many years of doing a lot of canning. Love to watch your videos. Sue in Central Indiana

[@PhyllisStokes]

I canned a lot when I was younger, now I use my freezer and make a lot of convenience meals since it's just the two of us now.

[@rbsamar]

Boy I miss u so much. Ur son is doing a good job. I hope u r happy to be back with ur husband in heaven.

[@nancyrose8028]

Excellent information. Thank you! I am on aspirin therapy and have two stents in arteries due to blockages. So, I really appreciate all your research and sharing!

[@dianabartley5610]

GREAT tips!!! Thank you!

[@reginaroberts6393]

could you please do some videos on canning foods?

[@sondramiller9104]

I have never heard if this. I will be reading all I can find on it.

[@robertalee2]

One more thing! I sure do enjoy all your videos on freezing and canning as well as other methods of preserving foods. Have you ever heard of Leather Britches? I you don't know just ask me and I'll tell you. It has to to do with food preservation.

[@PhyllisStokes]

I have heard of leather britches.

[@trupnaik4849]

Would quality remains same if i cut tomatoes in quarter size and then freezing for about few hours so that they become hard and then stiribg them in freezer bag. Will it still stay for six months or more without affecting tomato nutrition

[@lydiashelton3089]

I always learn a lot..your very informative..only thing I've heard about tomatoes is that they're a nightshade vegetable.

[@theresabollman8061]

Thank you, Phyllis. Again valuable information! I'm going to check for Fruit Flow at our health food store. Regarding frozen tomatoes, what would you say they should not be used for? I have always canned mine, but due to physical limitations have cut way back on canning. Thanks, Tess

[@KM-Mink]

One day I am going to make glistening jars of tomato preserves. 🍅❤🍅

[@KM-Mink]

@@carolynweidner9621 Sorry, Carolyn. I don't understand your reply.

[@SparrowStockwell]

Kathleen Muhlenkamp Hmmm...I wonder what Carolyn wanted to say!

[@bettymahoney8371]

Thank you

[@LorettaBrumfield]

The seeds are my, best part...and the pulp

[@mariem.c.9193]

I used to seed my tomatoes before eating, too. Then I read somewhere that the pulp (not the seeds) has all the flavor in a tomato! No idea about the health benefits.

[@1fanger]

Genesis 1:12 did not say don`t eat the seeds. The jelly surrounding the seeds in tomatoes are there to prevent premature sprouting. A very good way to remove the jelly is to get 6 to 12 nicely formed tomatoes from 6 to twelve different plants and squeeze them into a container and let them ferment. That will remove the jelly. The good seed will sink and the bad seed will float. Another way, is to just throw rotted ripe tomatoes in your compost heap and wait till spring for them to sprout. But, thank you for your research.

[@jofipps376]

If you will eat something like banana, baked sweet potato or other food when you take aspirin, it will prevent causing ulcers. It prevents the aspirin from laying on your stomach lining and burning the tissues there. I know this is true because I’ve been taking aspirin for years and it works for me. Others have said doing this has prevented the burning in their stomach as well, after I’ve told them about this tip. Sometimes the simplest little things makes a world of difference!

[@karenslone7624]

hey phillis,you ought to buy your tomatoes,at the farmers market and just dont grow a garden they got green beans,anything you want,but bushels of them and can them yum so good.thanks 😉😎🤯

[@jeanskilling708]

I freeze mine whole. When I freeze them the skin splits. So it comes off.

[@robertalee2]

Frozen tomatoes are a bit watery and that is why I think it is better to put them in glass jars, but I know you already know this.. Freezing is so much easier.

[@silverfallensnow473]

cool

[@KM-Mink]

Those simmering tomatoes look so good, I could eat a whole big bowl of them. 🍅❤🍅

[@lynnwilhoite6194]

Yep, they do look delicious!

[@maureenhalahan]

This was a very informative video. Miss Phyllis also provided information regarding the healthy aspect of eating the tomato seeds. She provided information about a site that has a large variety of seeds. (www.tomatobob.com).

[@bonnierobbins7972]

DID YOU EVER SEE BLACK TOMATOES? I MEAN JET BLACK

[@PhyllisStokes]

Never saw any in person but have seen pictures. I grew some purple tomatoes a few years back, got the seeds from "Tomato Bob" on the internet.
