Homegrown tomatoes and other crops, in general, are healthier than store-bought ones: They taste better and are healthier and fresher. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that can keep your skin healthy and can protect you from certain types of cancer. In addition, tomatoes contain other antioxidants like vitamins A and C that also help fight harmful free radicals. Tomatoes also contain good amounts of calcium and vitamin K, which are essential in maintaining bone health. The vitamin B and potassium content of tomatoes are also beneficial for the heart. These nutrients effectively lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, preventing heart attacks, stroke, and other heart problems.
