Description

Tomatoes are a staple in many countries, used raw in salads and as a base and thickener for many dishes. They’re high in beta carotene, thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, niacin, folate, copper and Vitamins A, B6, C and K. Naturally low in sodium and high on fibre, they’re also virtually fat-free because of their high water content. Tomatoes also have lycopene and antioxidants that offer you a whole host of benefits. Diabetics can also eat this filling food easily because of their chromium content, which regulates blood sugar.
