For even more of a twist on the classic, try this modern Caprese and savor the contrast between the juicy tomatoes, soft cheese, and crisp cucumber.
Health Notes with Dr. Liz
Tomato Heaven
If you’re like me, you live for these summer months when tomatoes are at their finest — vine-ripe and bursting with flavor. From fanciful heirloom varieties with their colorfully wrinkled skins, to the basic beefsteak, tomatoes are nutritional wonders with many uses.
A tennis-ball-sized tomato provides 60 percent of your daily value for vitamin C and a wealth of lycopene, two antioxidants that studies show not only help lower cancer risk but also may help slow the signs of aging.
Tomatoes have also been shown to help lower the risk of heart disease. Each serving supplies 15 percent of your daily value of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate healthy blood pressure, along with 15 percent of your daily fiber needs. Researchers note that these two nutrients may work in synergy with the lycopene to boost heart health.
Surprisingly, tomatoes can play a role in bone health, as well. A serving of tomato supplies 15 percent of your need for vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin that researchers say plays a vital role in forming strong bones. And since many of us may fall short on our need for this vitamin, we have all the more reason to gobble up tomatoes this summer. They’re easy to incorporate into your daily diet:
- Add sliced, chopped or chunked tomatoes into salads, omelets, sandwiches and wraps.
- Combine chopped tomatoes with diced onion, cilantro and peppers for a vibrant salsa.
- Sauté garlic, olives, tomatoes and capers and toss with cooked pasta for a taste of Italy.
- Serve tomatoes diced and combined with garlic and olive oil over toasted bread or with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and basil for luscious appetizers.
