Quick Tips

• Tomatoes taste best and are most affordable in the summer when they are in season. Off-season tomatoes tend to be more watery and tart in flavor. 

• Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, notably lycopene, which has been linked to reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.

• Eating raw tomatoes provides more vitamin C, while eating cooked tomatoes provides more lycopene. Consuming both formats is equally healthy.
