What it is

Vine-ripened fresh tomatoes are fully mature tomatoes grown on the vine until they reach their peak flavor and color. They are a fruit, botanically speaking, but commonly used as a vegetable in cooking. Tomatoes are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene.

Why it's used

Tomatoes are a versatile ingredient used to add flavor, color, and moisture to a wide range of dishes. They are a base for sauces, soups, and stews, and are also used fresh in salads and sandwiches. Their natural acidity can also help balance flavors.

Health notes

Tomatoes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a good source of vitamins C and K, and potassium. The antioxidant lycopene, abundant in tomatoes, has been studied for its potential health benefits, though research is ongoing. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomatoes and their components.

Allergen info

Tomatoes are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
