What tomatoes are suitable for canning?

The choice of tomatoes determines the appearance and taste of the final result. There are several criteria by which tomato varieties are selected for canning:

Thick skin that is resistant to heat treatment. During the canning process, the tomatoes will be filled with hot marinade. Therefore, it is very important that their skin does not crack under the influence of high temperature. Otherwise the appearance will be ruined.
Fleshy and small amount of seeds. This quality depends on whether the tomatoes can maintain their shape or fall apart in a shapeless mass on your table.
Small size. Fruits weighing up to 50 g fit well into a jar and are easy to eat. When you bite into tomatoes, juice often splashes out, staining your clothes, but you don’t need to bite into small tomatoes, so there won’t be a fountain of splashes.
The most convenient shapes of tomatoes for rolling into jars are: small pear-shaped, cocktail and cherry. They fit most tightly in the container, and thanks to the good ratio of fruit and brine, the snack acquires a richer tomato taste.
Color saturation. After heat treatment, the skin and pulp of tomatoes lighten. Tomatoes of intensely colored bright varieties will look more appetizing.
About the same size. These tomatoes are more convenient to put in jars and do not need to be sorted. Larger specimens are placed at the bottom of the container, and smaller specimens are placed at the top.
Keeping quality of tomatoes. The fruits should not be overripe or watery. It is better to choose varieties that last well for quite a long time. This is especially important when canning is not carried out immediately, but is postponed until a convenient moment.

Summarize

Increasing your water intake can have many health benefits, especially in terms of weight loss and improved skin health.
While drinking 3 liters of water per day can help you meet your fluid needs, it is not necessarily healthy for everyone. In fact, drinking too much water can be dangerous.
To ensure you're staying hydrated, drink when you're thirsty and always listen to your body.

Flaws:

1. On the third day after the purchase, we discovered that Redmond is a brand with dubious roots. They pretend to be a prestigious American brand (but do not hide that they are made in China). The appearance of the products, packaging design, branded stores - everything is top notch! In fact, it turned out that this technology is not represented in the USA (look for Redmond on American sites! - in vain!) At the office. On the website on the world map (!), service centers are marked only in Russia. We get the typical signs of a werewolf brand: produced in China, sold only in Russia, the company is registered in a decent country, the owner is a company from Russia, the goal is to sell “misleading”. If you think that you make high-quality equipment, do not hesitate to name...
