Tomatoes are rich lycopene, an antioxidant nutrient which has been associated with heart health, and, in men -- prostate health.  Enjoy fresh tomatoes from local growers when in season.  Other times of the year, reach for processed tomatoes knowing that ketchup, tomato paste, and pasta sauces pack even more lycopenes because they are concentrated during the reduction process.  Opt for low-sugar, low-salt varieties when choosing processed tomato products.
