did you know
Tomatoes didn’t really exist in the Western world until the Spanish brought them to Europe in the 16th century. (Originally it was the Aztecs who cultivated them.)
When is tomato season in Ontario?
From the end of July to the middle of September is the best time to get the most delicious tomatoes. Now is the best time to stock up so you can “power” them too!
Are tomatoes healthy?
They sure are! Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that reduces the risk of many types of cancer. They have also been shown to help lower total cholesterol.
Do they lose their flavor or health benefits when you roast them?
Definitely not! Roasting tomatoes brings out some of the best flavors and the health benefits remain; especially if you add certain herbs and spices with anti-inflammatory benefits.
