Cherry Tomatoes (500g)

Description

The benefits of tomatoes are countless. Although they are almost always consumed and prepared as a vegetable, they belong to the fruit category.

Helps prevent some types of cancer
The high levels of lycopene and vitamins A and C in tomatoes may help reduce the risk of prostate, colorectal, and stomach cancer. A study of women concluded that high levels of carotenoids (a substance found in large quantities in tomatoes) may help protect against breast cancer.

Reduces the risk of developing kidney stones
Foods rich in antioxidants can prevent the development of kidney stones. In addition to these substances, tomatoes also contain large amounts of water and potassium, which can also help reduce the risk of kidney stone formation. However, it's recommended to consume them seedless, especially if you have a history of kidney problems.

Friend of the eyes and hair
In addition to containing vitamin A, this fruit also contains beta-carotene and alpha-carotene, nutrients that the body converts into vitamin A. Therefore, by containing large amounts of this vitamin, another health benefit of tomatoes is the promotion of healthy vision, skin, and hair.
