Description
Known binomially as Solanum lycopersicum or lycopersicum esculentum, tomatoes vary widely in their overall size; ranging from as small as a cherry, to bigger than a potato, depending on the climate and soil conditions where they are grown. Their color is fairly standard, merely existing as a few different shades of the color red.
Tomatoes are rich in nutrients like folate, vitamin C, potassium, etc. But what truly sets tomatoes is the abundance of antioxidants like carotenoids in them, especially lycopene, known to have several health benefits to offer. Tomato also offers plenty of vitamin A. It is rich in other beneficial components like vitamin E, flavonoids, phytosterols and several other water-soluble vitamins.
