The tomato fruit is deliciously sweet and so good for you. Besides being extremely high in vitamin C and potassium, the reddest tomatoes are an excellent source of lycopene which is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant that may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. Tomatoes are extremely low in calories (~20 calories per medium tomato), sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol. They are also a good source of dietary fiber. You can reap the benefits of tomatoes by consuming them in whole or juiced form. One of my favorite go-to snacks is cherry tomatoes. How do you like your tomatoes?
