Today, on our way to the market, Hubby, Baby Light, and I made a quick stop at my parents’ shop. It’s conveniently located just off the highway, a little before the market, so we decided to drop Baby Light off with my mum to make shopping a bit easier.

After we were done at the market, we swung by again to pick her up—and ended up staying a while to chat. As we were gisting, Mum glanced at the small quantity of fresh tomatoes I had bought and asked, “Will this be enough for you?”

I replied, “I’m going to mix it with Snake Tomatoes.”

The look she gave me—pure disapproval! “No o!” she said immediately. “Don’t mix it. It’ll spoil your stew.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Mum, have you even tried it before?”

Let me tell you—if you ever taste Snake Tomatoes, you’ll not just like them… you’ll love them.

They’re so underrated! You won’t find them in our local markets; you actually have to grow them yourself. To be honest, I hadn’t even heard of them until last year—Hubby was the one who showed me Snake Tomatoes and how it's prepared.

Is that not Paprika?

EmmyMaestro:

This tin grew alot in my hostel during our secondary school days. During general cleaning and labour every Saturdays, we normally cut it and use it to play.

You're right, if one person starts planting it commercially, others will follow.

It tastes really good.
It's also known as long tomato.

Just coming across this for the first Time

Mikespecialone:
My mum has many of it in her compound ,she claimed it’s what they sell to us as Tomato paste

He said she claims 😂😂😂
She definitely knows what she is saying

The smelling is ridiculous 😞

Can't put it near the traditional tomatoes 🍅

Smells like Baby Diapers 🤧

How person go open thread expecting to see something like a new species of snake only to be seeing this?. .

Finally, here is somebody that also likes snake tomatoes like me.
But how do you extract it? I find that tiring

...And suddenly the price of Long Tomato will rise because the stone that the builders reject as now become the chief cornerstone.

I thought it was a snake the first time I saw it in our garden planted by my father. It's a very nice tomato.

No. She is wrong. What they use to make tomato paste are flour, sugar and coloring. No single tomato is in it.

Can you describe how to cook it
If possible with pictures
Thanks 🙏❤️❤️❤️

I don't think they sell it in the market, you most definitely have to plant it.

It climbs a lot.

Also more people use it when tomatoes get costly .

That is called snake gourds aka trichosanthes cucumerina.

Hunger don force us to begin eating snake tomato
Never seen or heard of this
God help man abegg

I have it plenty in my compound. It reddish colour and the taste can't be compare with other tomatoes in the market. Pure natural taste void of preservatives

Can you please just call them LONG tomatoes instead of calling them Cnake tomatoes?
Not everyone is easy with that creepy animal...

....or could that be the real name? 🤔

Me too. When I red the topic, "Snake tomatoes", I thought it is another species of snake.

If you give them the veg and protein nothing go spoil.

Country dey hard. People eat what they can afford. If you can't better their lives, rather than look down on their choice of food, kindly ignore and pass.

Never heard of it in my life

Oh so it’s called snake tomatoes. My Neighbor has it in their compound
