Tomato

Tomato is a widely used fruit in cuisines around the world (commonly treated as a vegetable), native to western South America and central America and now central to Mediterranean, Latin American and many other cooking traditions. It’s known for its bright flavor, juiciness and versatility — eaten raw in salads, cooked into sauces, roasted or used as a base for soups and stews. Nutritionally, Tomato is very low in energy and contributes small amounts of protein and fiber; it provides 1.2g of fiber per 100g and also supplies vitamin C and several minerals. Its high water content and mild acidity make it useful for adding volume and flavor without many calories. Overall, Tomato is a nutritious, low-calorie ingredient that helps increase vegetable intake and adds vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber to meals — a simple way to boost the nutritional quality of many dishes.
