Tomato is a popular fruit that originated in South America. It contains few calories, but plenty of vitamins and a very valuable antioxidant – lycopene. Tomatoes are extensively used in various cuisines. It tastes great in soups, sauces and concentrates. It can be also eaten raw, as an snack or as an addition to salads, sandwiches and appetizers. It mixes well with olive oil, garlic and basil. It is valued not only for its refreshing, sweet-sour taste, but also a distinctive color that attracts even children who are not great enthusiasts of such plants.
