Tomatoes
Tomato is a nutrient-dense fruit (commonly used as a vegetable) known for its vibrant red color, though varieties range from yellow to purple. Fresh tomatoes are particularly rich in lycopene, a potent antioxidant linked to heart health, and provide significant vitamin C and potassium. While often enjoyed raw in salads and sandwiches, cooking enhances lycopene absorption, making both fresh and prepared forms nutritionally valuable.
