Today we celebrate National Fresh Tomato Day! 🍅The tomato is the state vegetable of New Jersey! Shouldn’t everyone in the Garden State be able to enjoy beautiful, healthy, Jersey-fresh tomatoes? 😋 We think so! America’s Grow-a-Row donated 69,295 pounds of nutritious tomatoes in 2020.
Nutrition: Tomatoes are high in the antioxidant Lycopene, which gives tomatoes their red color. Lycopene has been shown to decrease disease prevalence, particularly cancer and heart disease.
Agriculture: Tomatoes are actually in the fruit family and there are thousands of varieties.
Culinary: When choosing canned tomatoes, look for low sodium or no salt added tomatoes - you can adjust seasoning as you cook!
Jersey tomatoes are one of the best things about summer! 😎
