Tomatoes

Tomatoes are among the most commonly consumed vegetables in Poland, and their versatility in the kitchen allows for a wide range of preparations, limited only by one’s creativity. They are primarily used to make products such as ketchup, sauces, purees, and tomato concentrates. Additionally, tomatoes are incorporated into soups, pizzas, meat and vegetable dishes. Fresh tomatoes also make an excellent addition to sandwiches and salads.

Tomatoes should hold a special place in our diet, not only for their delightful taste but also for their health benefits. They provide a significant amount of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that plays a crucial role in enzyme activation, iron absorption, collagen production, and supports the circulatory system. Tomatoes are also rich in micro- and macroelements, including potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, as well as iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium.
