Fresh Tomatoes from the Garden

We have few tomato plants in the garden and when we saw ripe ones, we picked them up and use them in the kitchen. I love the cherry tomatoes because they are so sweet and smells good too. Tomatoes benefit the heart because it contain the carotene lycopene which is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants.It is believed that cooked tomatoes have been found to help prevent prostate cancer. The lycopene in tomatoes improves the skin's ability to protect against harmful UV rays. Tomatoes also protects against sunburn and help keeping the skin looking youthful. According to the study, tomato varieties are available with double the normal vitamin C, 40 times normal vitamin A and two to four times the normal amount of lycopene.
