Uses / Nutrition
The tomato is nature's ready-to-eat favorite. Wash it and bite. Or slice it into salads
or on sandwiches. It's low in calories, endowed with Vitamins C and A, and the skin and
seeds are good sources of fiber. Tomatoes contain phytochemicals such as lycopene that
may reduce the incidence of cancer and heart disease. A recent scientific report from the
Harvard School of Public Health suggested that men who ate 10 or more servings per week of
tomato products, including tomato sauce and pizza sauce are up to 34% less likely to
develop prostate cancer. For more information about the possible health benefits of
lycopene, visit www.lycopene.org. Fresh tomatoes
taste best at room temperature. You can eat tomatoes baked, grilled or blended in
delicious gazpacho soup or today's popular salsa recipes. Tomatoes are the heart of
Mexican, Italian, and other contemporary cooking. And what's a burger without a tomato? |
