Tomatoes
Tomatoes are at their peek in July and their nutritional content is just as rich as their flavor! Tomatoes in season are vibrant and sweet! Tomatoes are known as a Super Food because of their high nutrient content, including a naturally occurring chemical called Lycopene. Tomatoes are high in Vitamin C and E.

Lycopene
Lycopene is a caratenoid found in plant foods and is what gives them their red color. Lycopene can also be found in watermelon, apricots, pink guavas, and pink grapefruits. Research suggests that lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that can prevent cancer and heart disease. Lycopene has also been used to treat condtions such as cataracts, and improve eyesight. In addition it has been used to treat HPV, human papilloma virus and asthma.
