About Half a tomatoes
Half a tomato is a versatile ingredient often found in dishes from Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South American cuisines. Tomatoes originated in South America but have since become a global culinary staple. Nutritionally, half a tomato contains around 15 calories and is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and may reduce the risk of certain cancers. It also provides potassium, aiding in hydration and muscle function. Tomatoes are low in fat and cholesterol, making them a healthy addition to salads, sauces, and sandwiches. However, their natural acidity might not be ideal for individuals prone to acid reflux. When paired with balanced meals, half a tomato can serve as a flavorful and nutrient-dense choice.
