Tomatoes, often mistaken for vegetables, are actually fruits that offer a juicy and refreshing experience. They are composed of about 95% water and are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and lycopene, an antioxidant that supports heart health. Tomatoes can be enjoyed raw in salads, blended into cold soups like gazpacho, or simply sliced with a sprinkle of salt. Their natural sweetness and tang make them a versatile ingredient that can be used in various dishes to provide a refreshing and hydrating boost during the summer heat.
