INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT TOMATOES




Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin K. They are also a very good source of molybdenum, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, chromium, and vitamin B1. In addition, tomatoes are a good source of vitamin B6, folate, copper, niacin, vitamin B2, magnesium, iron, pantothenic acid, phosphorous, vitamin E and protein.

Lycopene from tomatoes has been repeatedly studied in humans and found to be protective against a growing list of cancers, including colorectal, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic cancers.

For the most Lycopene, always choose organic in tomatoes,juice, ketchup,sauces or paste.

A tomato grown in a hothouse has half the vitamin C content as a vine-ripened tomato.
