TOMATOES: for ♥️ health

Tomatoes are such a versatile and nutritious fruit, Not only are tomatoes delicious, but they're also loaded with health benefits. Rich in vitamins A and C, they boost your immune system and improve skin health. They’re also high in antioxidants, particularly lycopene, which helps fight inflammation and reduce the risk of certain cancers. *Plus they are one of the easiest plants to grow if you’re a new gardener!

My favorite way to use all the tomatoes I grow is to make a quick and easy salsa! It’s perfect for a snack or to add to your meals.
