What kind of food is this?
Per 100 g: 30 kcal and 80 µg of vitamin A. The red color comes from lycopene, a carotenoid pigment.
Lycopene is studied for its role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by free radicals. Vitamin A is also a nutrient that supports vision and the health of skin and mucous membranes.
What tomatoes offer is a red plant pigment in a water-rich vegetable.
How to serve
Remove the stem end and use red, ripe fruit. The stem end, leaves, stems, and unripe green fruit contain high levels of tomatine. They are easy to swallow whole, so cut them before serving.
