About Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the fleshy fruits of cultivated tomato plants, commonly eaten raw or cooked and used in sauces, salads, soups and many other foods. They are sold fresh in a range of sizes, shapes and colours, as well as in dried or processed forms; this entry refers to fresh tomatoes unless a form is specified.
Fresh tomatoes have thin skins and juicy flesh containing seeds and gel. Flavour ranges from tart to sweet and varies with variety and ripeness. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish raw fruit from cooked, peeled, drained or preserved tomatoes, since processing changes water content and may add ingredients.
