The Super Fruit Disguised as a Vegetable

I know someone who eats tomatoes like apples. Why not? You'll more likely keep the doctor away by eating a tomato a day rather than an apple, after all.

These red beauties are loaded with lycopene, an anti-oxidant which catches those nasty free-radicals that interfere with normal cell growth. Eating a tomoato is like sending little Terminators into your body to clean the place up.

Tomatoes are also high in vitamin C and contain a lot of potassium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin A and vitamin B. One medium tomato will equal one slice of whole wheat bread with a penalty of only 35 calories - there's a way to get guilt and pound-free fiber.

Plus, they ARE delicious on their own. Try eating them this way as a snack or a side to any of the meals posted:
