# Mummifying Tomatoes

  ![Image of Mummifying Tomatoes](https://files.schudio.com/roose-3/images/blog/WIN_20211007_09_53_01_Pro.jpg)  7 October 2021   [Helen Mackie](https://rooseprimary.co.uk/blog/author/HMackie)

Today we have mummified tomatoes.

First, we washed our tomatoes, then we scooped out the insides.

We made our own natron by mixing salt and baking powder and filled the tomato with it.

We will watch them for a few weeks to see what happens.
