About Half of a small tomato
Half of a small tomato, typically measuring around 1-2 inches in diameter, is a vibrant and nutrient-dense food originating from Central and South America, where it was cultivated for thousands of years before becoming a global culinary staple. Rich in flavor and low in calories, this serving contains essential vitamins such as Vitamin C and Vitamin A, antioxidants like lycopene, and a small amount of dietary fiber. Lycopene has been linked to heart health and may help protect against certain types of cancer. Tomatoes are naturally low in fat and sodium, making them ideal for various diets. This versatile ingredient is widely used in dishes across Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, and American cuisines, either raw or cooked. While generally healthy, those prone to acid reflux may experience discomfort due to its natural acidity. Despite this, its nutritional benefits make it a refreshing addition to salads, sauces, and snacks.
