Fresh tomatoes are low in carbs. The carb content consists mainly of simple sugars and insoluble fibers. Tomatoes are also a good source of several vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K, and folate.
When tomatoes start to ripen, they produce a gaseous hormone called ethylene. Commercially grown tomatoes harvest too early often and are also often green. To make them red before selling, food companies spray them with artificial ethylene gas. This process inhibits the development of natural flavor and may result in tasteless tomatoes. If you buy unripen tomatoes, you can speed up the ripening process by wrapping them in a sheet of newspaper. Also keeping them on the kitchen counter for a few days. Just make sure to check them daily for ripeness.
Tomatoes are quite possibly one of the summer season’s most versatile produce offerings. Thank goodness they don’t make them in a Popsicle.
