TOMATOES
It is tomato season and there is so much you can do with tomatoes! Not only are they used by most cultures because of their wonderful taste, but tomatoes produce lycopene, which is known to fight cancer.
Originiating in the South American Andes, tomatoes were once considered to be an aphrodisiac; and in Italy they are called pomo amoris - or "love apple".
Classifed as a fruit because of its seeds (like eggplant is also classified) the tomato has got to be one of the most healthy-for-you foods there is!
Tomatoes can be eaten plain, in salads, added to any meat, fish, pasta, rice, bread, soup, stew, etc. recipe. They can be canned, frozen, made into relishes and ketchup and used as condiments. They are even eaten before they are ripe as in Fried Green Tomatoes!
