The Roma tomato, also known as a plum tomato, is a small, oval-shaped variety prized for its dense flesh and low water content, making it ideal for sauces, soups, and canning. Native to Italy, this tomato is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine but is now enjoyed worldwide. Packed with essential nutrients, Roma tomatoes are a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium and antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and combats inflammation. They are naturally low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy addition to any diet. Roma tomatoes are also hydrating, thanks to their high water content, despite their dense texture. When consumed fresh or minimally processed, they contribute to a balanced, nutritious meal. Avoid excessive sodium when using them in canned or pre-packaged products to retain their health benefits.
