Fresh tomatoes can be served uncooked in salads or stewed, baked, broiled or microwaved. Amedium-sized tomato (2 inches in diameter), is approximately 24 calories, is high in potassium(254 mg), vitamin C (37% of your recommended daily intake), and other antioxidants. They arealso low in sodium (10 mg) and fat (0.3 g). If you need to easily peel a tomato, drop it in boilingwater for 30-60 seconds then immediately dip into cold water and the skin will slide right off.When freezing tomatoes, skins should be removed because they become tough. If you areinterested in canning tomatoes, only use ones that are ripe and firm.
