Tomatoes are one of the most widely consumed vegetables in Poland, and their versatility in the kitchen means that they can be prepared in many different ways, limited only by your own creativity. They are mainly used to make preserves such as ketchup, sauces, purees or tomato paste. In addition, they are used in soups, pizzas, meat and vegetable dishes. Fresh tomatoes are a great addition to sandwiches and salads.
The tomato should occupy a special place in our diet because it is not only tasty, but also beneficial to health. It provides a good amount of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant and plays a key role in enzyme activation, iron absorption and collagen production, as well as supporting the circulatory system. Tomatoes are also rich in micro- and macronutrients. They are a good source of potassium, which helps to regulate blood pressure, and also contain iron, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.
