Tomatoes: In-Season Superfood
You must be logged in to post a comment.
Tis the season for tomatoes. Baskets and bins at farmer’s markets around the country are overflowing with ripe, juicy tomatoes of all shapes and colors.
Late summer is the ideal time to take advantage of this Superfood in their natural form. These rosy orbs pack a nutritional punch that is, indeed, noteworthy. Even better, and definitely unusual in the food world, processed tomato products contain all the benefits of the fruit from the vine, so while enjoying a just picked tomato in August is one of life’s pleasures, the tomato paste used to bump up the flavor of your minestrone soup base in November will provide the same nutritional boost.
