Firm, red, medium size; great in salads and in vegetable bakes. A great source of Vitamin C (although the level of Vitamin C can be lowered in cooking) and lycopene, a nutritionally important carotenoid that is believed to play a protective role in the body. Lycopene is found only in red tomatoes and is more readily available when tomatoes are cooked. Tomatoes also provide potassium, fiber and beta-carotene. And calories are low: about 24 for one cup of chopped raw tomato.
