DeliGreens Tomato (Kamatis)

Kamatis, commonly known as tomatoes, are a versatile and widely used fruit in culinary applications. They are typically round or oval with smooth, shiny skin that can range in color from red to yellow, orange, and even green. Tomatoes are known for their juicy flesh and slightly tangy, sweet flavor.

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants like lycopene, which is known to reduce the risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. They also provide essential minerals such as potassium and folate, and are low in calories.

Culinary Uses: Kamatis can be enjoyed raw in salads, sandwiches, and salsas, or cooked in a variety of dishes such as soups, stews, sauces, and casseroles. They are also used in making tomato paste, ketchup, and juice. Their versatility makes them a staple in many kitchens around the world.

Storage: Fresh tomatoes should be stored at room temperature until they are fully ripe. Once ripe, they can be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. For longer storage, tomatoes can be canned, dried, or made into sauces and preserves.
