Is tomato allowed on the Tayyibat diet?
Yes, prepared
Yes, but only prepared the right way. The verdict follows from his rules, not a ruling he gave.
Why tomato needs preparing
Yes, but only peeled, seeded and cooked into sauce. The seeds and skin are where the trouble is. Take them out, cook it, and the problem is gone.
The detail
Peeled, seeded and cooked into sauce. Solanine-family alkaloids, concentrated in seeds and skin. Bell peppers and raw tomato are excluded; peeled, seeded, cooked tomato is the rare exception. Prepared this way, that objection is removed.
The rule behind the verdict
The nightshade family
Did the doctor say this himself?
Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
