8 Vine-Fresh Tomato Recipes Under 400 Calories

Tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh from the vine. Botanically classified as fruit, tomatoes are more often (mistakenly) referred to as vegetables. Either way, tomatoes deliver lots nutrients — vitamins A and C and potassium — and contain inflammation-reducing antioxidants, including lycopene and folic acid. With hues ranging from brownish and pinkish-red, to golden yellow and bright orange, tomatoes are a great complement to any dish.
