HEALTH BENEFITS OF TOMATOES<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>Did you know that a tomato is actually a fruit and not a vegetable? \u00a0Tomatoes are the fruit from the tomato plant, but are commonly confused as being a vegetable because they\u2019re not sweet like most other fruits.<\/p>\n

One of the best known health benefits of tomatoes is that they are a great source of lycopene. \u00a0Lycopene has amazing antioxidant properties that are believed to help prevent a number of different cancers.<\/p>\n

Before the discovery of lycopene, tomatoes were known for their wealth of other vitamins including Vitamins A, B, C and K. \u00a0In fact, a one cup serving of tomatoes contains over 50% of your daily Vitamin C needs while only contributing an average of 37 calories!<\/p>\n

Of course, buying fresh tomatoes is always the best option. \u00a0If this is impractical, you can always find them in cans. \u00a0Be sure to check the label, though, and verify that there aren\u2019t a lot of additives that will take away from the benefits of eating tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Quick Tip:<\/strong> Generally, tomatoes are in peak season between July and September. \u00a0That\u2019s a great time to find the best ones and really experience their full flavor!<\/p>\n
