Tomatoes - Why They Are Good For You



Tomatoes are very good for you. They are high in lycopene which it is thought is good at preventing cancers, especially prostate cancer.



 


They are also high in vitamin C and there
 is some evidence that they can help you
if you are on a diet because they help you to feel full up.

Tomatoes are fairly inexpensive to buy.
 Growing your own is a good option.

If you live in a fairly cool/cold area they can
 be grown very successfully in a greenhouse.

Your own home grown tomatoes will usually have
a good flavor and you can pick them when they are at their ripest.

There plenty of ways you can consume tomatoes:

You can have them cold in a salad or in a sandwich.

You can grill them with other vegetables

You can use them for toppings on pizzas

These are just a few ideas, they also make a
very nice drink which you can make yourself
 or buy already bottled, adding a little Worcestershire
 sauce will bring their flavor out.
