Tomatoes
Very light and rich in vitamins
Raw or cooked?
Cooked tomato is richer than raw tomato in lycopene. This pigment resists heat, which makes tomatoes more easily assimilated by the body. Consuming tomatoes with fatty acids, such as olive oil, increases the bioavailability of lycopene.
However, cooking them alters their supply of vitamin C. Ideally, you should consume both raw and cooked tomatoes and take the best of both worlds!
Quick peeling
Immerse the tomatoes for 30 seconds in boiling water, then under the jet of cold water immediately after: the skin will peel off instantly.
Origin
Our tomatoes come from Sicily, Calabria, Apulia, and Spain.
Supply period
January, February, March
