The tomato is “the” summer fruit par excellence. If it can be eaten raw (with a drizzle of olive oil, a few slices of mozzarella and a touch of basil, for example), it can also be cooked so that the whole family can enjoy it (tomato sauce, tomatoes confits, cold tomato soup, stuffed tomatoes, tomato tian, eggplant and zucchini…).
Yes, but here it is: there are many varieties of tomatoes, from the small cherry tomato to the hyper-fleshy heart of beef. How do you know which is the best for your health? Precisely: the dietician Nathalie Majcher, alias “Docteur Bonne Bouffe” on social networks, recently expressed herself on the question…
Be careful not to remove the skin from the tomatoes!

However, it is precisely the skin that contains the most fibers and phytonutrients, these antioxidant substances that have a protective or even curative effect against many diseases.“. Good to know !
Do you still want “normal” tomatoes for lunch or tonight? The dietician advises you to opt for pear tomatoes: “small in size but with a more elongated shape, they contain even more skin… and therefore beneficial nutrients!“We will have understood: these benefits are only valid if we cook the tomatoes with their skin…
