Tomatoes

Scientifically known as Solanum lycopersicum, the tomato is native to Mexico. It is widely appreciated for its rich vitamin content, especially Vitamin C. Tomatoes are consumed both raw and cooked and are essential ingredients in products like ketchup, paste, and puree. Typically oval or round in shape, they appear red with occasional yellow or green shades. Tomatoes are abundant in vitamins A, C, K, and B6, making them a nutritious addition to any diet.
