Almería inventa ‘el tomate de invierno’, un producto exclusivo para los mejores restaurantes y la cocina gourmet

El tomate es un alimento que tradicionalmente se vincula a los meses de más calor del año y a comidas frías y sencillas, pero lo que la gente no sabe es que el mejor tomate y de mayor calidad es el que se consume en invierno, perfecto para las recetas más elaboradas y la cocina de ‘alto standing’

 

El consumo de tomate en Almería está estrechamente ligado a platos típicos como el gazpacho, las ensaladas frescas o los sabrosos sofritos. Generalmente, se asocia este fruto a los meses cálidos, vinculándolo como un producto refrescante. Pero esto no es cosa del verano solamente. En la provincia de Almería, existen algunos agricultores que desafían la estacionalidad y se aventuran a cultivar tomates durante el invierno.

Entre otras variedades, las más destacadas en los invernaderos almerienses durante el invierno son el tomate rosa, el asurcado, el cherry o el famoso raf (enlaces a la tienda online de el rincón del raf), suministrando estos tomates de excepción a establecimientos de alta gastronomía, además de todo tipo de clientes que buscan un tomate exclusivo y de alta calidad.

A pesar de su elevado coste de producción y de la dificultad de cultivar en invernaderos durante el invierno, el trabajo compensa, gracias a que consiguen un producto verdaderamente exclusivo por el que preguntan todos, incluidos los restaurantes de Estrella Michelín.

Agrupalmería and El Rincón del Raf aportan su granito de arena a través de su plataforma de venta directa online, donde ahora tienen disponible algunas de las variedades de tomate gourmet más apropiadas para la alta cocina de eventos, catering y restaurantes que destacan en estas fechas.

Almería esconde la octava maravilla: Es la única estructura visible desde el Espacio

Es muy difícil ver prácticamente cualquier cosa desde el espacio. Tan solo las Pirámides de Giza se pueden vislumbrar por la falta de vegetación que hay a su alrededor. Sin embargo, la única estructura humana realmente visible sin muchas complicaciones es el mar de plástico que hay en Almería.

 

Desde hace tiempo se ha creído que algunas estructuras humanas son visibles desde la órbita terrestre, pero, contrario a la creencia popular, las Pirámides como explicábamos antes o la Gran Muralla China no es una de ellas. De hecho, una de las pocas estructuras humanas observables desde el espacio se encuentra en España.

Mientras los astronautas experimentan la asombrosa vista del planeta desde la Estación Espacial Internacional, se sorprenden con las maravillas naturales y los paisajes terrestres. Sin embargo, las Pirámides de Giza, a pesar de ser icónicas, son difíciles de ver debido al entorno con escasa vegetación. A pesar de esta complejidad, hay una estructura mucho más visible desde la órbita.

Los invernaderos se distinguen claramente en imágenes satelitales

¿Cuál es esa estructura visible? Los vastos invernaderos que cubren 28.500 hectáreas en la provincia de Almería. Estos invernaderos, que albergan una variedad de cultivos desde calabacines hasta tomates o pimientos, por ejemplo, reflejan la luz solar de tal manera que se pueden avistar desde cientos de kilómetros en el espacio. Según el astronauta español Pedro Duque, estos invernaderos se distinguen claramente en imágenes satelitales, apareciendo como una gran marca blanca en el extremo oriental de España.

En resumen, mientras que la Gran Muralla China y las Pirámides de Giza no son visibles o requieren un esfuerzo significativo para verlas desde el espacio, los invernaderos de Almería son la única estructura visible desde el Espacio.
