A Tomato a day....
* Plum tomatoes are best used for sauces. Globe, cherry, and grape tomatoes are best for eating raw, although all varieties are good.
* Herbs that marry well with tomatoes include basil, oregano, marjoram, pepper, dill weed, thyme, garlic, bay leaf, celery seed, sesame seed, tarragon, chives, and parsley.
* Do not store ripe tomatoes in the refrigerator because this will cause them to become pulpy and lose their flavor. Store at room temperature and out of the sunlight. Ripe tomatoes should be used within a few days.
* Research suggests that the combination of nutrients in tomatoes may help prevent cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer. And although cooked tomatoes have less vitamin C, their lycopene is more available and antioxidant activity is undiminished by cooking
