Tomatoes

Tomatoes

👨‍🔬 Tomatoes provide a moderate amount of vitamin C. Small amounts of vitamin K, potassium, copper, and manganese.

💰 They are moderately priced per weight, but low nutrient density means fewer vitamins per dollar than other vegetables.

🥗 Low in calories (18 kcal) with an excellent vitamins-to-calories ratio.

💡 Better as a low-calorie addition than a main nutrient source. Use the rankings to compare with more nutrient-dense options.

🍅 Although tomatoes are low in key nutrients, they are still worth including due to lycopene.

Tomato-based sauces are also among the lowest-calorie options, especially compared to creamy alternatives.
