Rich in vitamins A and C, these tomatoes are a good source of antioxidants, particularly lycopene, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, they fit well into a balanced diet. However, they do contain natural sugars and sodium, which should be considered for those monitoring intake.
