Tomato is the emblem of the table, of the Italian culinary tradition and of the Mediterranean diet. It is a genuine and simple food, belonging to the Solanaceae family, which can be taken daily in our diet. In addition to being tasty and versatile for the preparation of many dishes, the tomato has beneficial properties for our body. Poor in calories, with a good content in minerals and trace elements, rich in water, with all the water-soluble vitamins. It is a light food, remineralizing, refreshing, moisturizing and rich in flavor, therefore with an excellent nutritional balance. Its fundamental ingredient is water (94%). Proteins do not exceed 1% and fats are still 0.2%. Another 2.8% consists of carbohydrates, mainly represented by fructose and glucose. In the aqueous component of the tomato, dozens of mineral salts and trace elements are dissolved. Among the former, potassium predominates (297 mg / 100 g), which helps the body to regain water balance. It follows the phosphorus (26 mg), which contributes to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and is essential with calcium for the health of bones and teeth. Calcium (11 mg / 100 g), in turn, gives balance to the nervous system; among the trace elements, the most common are iron (0.3 mg / 100 g), fundamental in the fight against anemia, zinc (0.11 mg) and selenium (2.3 mcg) which promote cell repair and, for this, they fight the signs of skin aging.
The characteristic flavor of the tomato is due to the presence of citric and malic acid in its pulp, organic acids that facilitate digestion, the tomato provides all the water-soluble vitamins and is an excellent source of vitamin C (25 mg).
In addition, in the tomato is present vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene (610 mcg per 100 g), responsible for its beautiful color. A 100 g tomato is sufficient to cover 15% of the quantity of beta-carotene that should be taken every day. More recent studies have highlighted a component that has not been investigated for centuries: the lycopene, the only red carotenoid, present in the tomato in generous quantities and to which it owes, in large part, its color. The characteristic that makes lycopene interesting, and that is multiplying scientific studies on it, is its ability to protect cells and tissues from the harmful action of free radicals, which are responsible for the aging processes and many cancer pathologies. They are real elixirs of long life, they play the role of soldiers of molecules in the organism, helping to protect it from tumors, the more the tomato ripens in the sun the more its lycopene content increases, that's why we pick up only ripe tomatoes by hand.
