Beschreibung

The red tomato is the fruit of the plant Lycopersicon esculentum. Botanically speaking, it is not only a but also a berry since it is formed from a single ovary. Tomatoes are originally native to the western side of South America, in the region occupied by Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and half of the west of Bolivia._In terms of conventional antioxidants, organic tomatoes provide natural amounts of vitamin C, beta-carotene, manganese, and vitamin E. In terms of phytonutrients, tomatoes are basically off the chart. While most often associated with lycopene (a carotenoid phytonutrient widely recognized for its antioxidant properties), tomatoes provide a unique variety of phytonutrients. Included are additional carotenoids (including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin); saponins (including alpha-tomatine); flavonoids (including naringenin, rutin, kaempferol, and quercetin); hydroxycinnamic acids (including, ferulic, and coumaric acid); glycosides (including A); and fatty acid derivatives (including 9-oxo-octadecadienoic acid)._Organic tomatoes are also a natural source of free radical-scavenging vitamin C, vitamin A, and bone-healthy vitamin K. They are also a natural source of enzyme-promoting molybdenum; heart-healthy potassium, vitamin B6, folate, dietary fiber; blood sugar-balancing manganese. In addition, tomatoes are a good source of heart-healthy magnesium, niacin, and vitamin E; energy-producing iron, vitamin B1, and phosphorus; muscle-building protein; and bone-healthy copper._Bone health is another area of growing interest in tomato research. Interestingly, the connection between tomato intake and bone health involves tomatoes’ rich supply of antioxidants. We don’t always consider antioxidant protection important for bone health. Still, it is, and tomato lycopene (and other tomato antioxidants) may have a unique role to play in this area._This product is 100% natural and minimally processed.
