Before eating cut tomatoes, many gourmets remove the seeds from the fruit.
This is what people do who believe that tomato pieces should be as dense as possible.
Quite often this culinary technique is used when preparing vegetable salad.
The cook removes the softest part of the fruit in advance so that the dish does not turn out “wet”.
However, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova does not recommend doing this.
Why You Shouldn't Remove Tomato Seeds
The fact is that the part of the fruit where the seeds are located is the most aromatic.
That's why it's stupid to deprive tomatoes of their juiciest part.
In addition, seeds are a source of a considerable amount of compounds useful for the body.
The only time you should remove the seeds from tomatoes is if the recipe specifically states so.
For example, when preparing Neapolitan eggs, you still need to remove the juiciest part of the tomatoes.
