Tomato, also spelled as tomatoe sometimes, is a fruit that is widely used as a vegetable in cooking. They are native to South America and are now cultivated worldwide. Tomatoes are low in calories and high in nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium and dietary fiber.
There are many varieties of tomatoes, including cherry, beefsteak, Roma, and heirloom tomatoes. They can be eaten raw or cooked and are used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, sauces, soups, and stews.
Tomatoes are often canned or processed into products such as ketchup, tomato paste, and spaghetti sauce. They are also used in drinks like tomato juice and Bloody Marys.
Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, an antioxidant that has been linked to a reduced risk of certain types of cancer, including prostate and breast cancer. They also contain other beneficial compounds, such as beta-carotene and flavonoids.
Tomatoes are best stored at room temperature, but can be refrigerated for extended periods of time. They should be eaten when ripe for the best taste.
