Although tomatoes may contain nicotine, many experts believe that eating tomatoes raw will not affect health, because the nicotine content in them is negligible and will not affect the human body under normal circumstances. Tomatoes, super sweet corn and lettuce are suitable for raw food after washing.

Extended data:

Immature tomatoes are not suitable for eating;

Green tomato contains alkaloid glycoside (solanine), which is needle-like crystal and stable in alkalinity, but can be hydrolyzed by acid. Therefore, unhealthy green tomatoes often feel uncomfortable to eat, bitter from the mouth, and serious poisoning will occur. Especially when green tomatoes begin to rot, solanine will be destroyed. There is no solanine in red tomatoes.
