Tomatoes are more than flavor, more than color on your plate,
They carry strength within their skin, and secrets that elevate,
A superfood by nature, they stand in radiant pride,
From soups to salads, sauces to stews, they nourish far and wide.
Their vibrant hues of crimson hide nutrients untold,
Packed with vitamins and minerals, more precious than gold,
Versatile in the kitchen, they shine in every role,
And whisper health’s own promise to both body and soul.
Vitamin A keeps vision clear, your eyes in steady sight,
While skin and immune defenses grow stronger with its might,
Vitamin C restores the glow, with healing it imparts,
And shields you from infection while it fortifies your heart.
Vitamin K builds stronger bones, it keeps the blood in line,
While potassium within them helps your body to align,
Together with antioxidants, tomatoes weave their care,
A tapestry of wellness in the foods that we prepare.
At the center of their magic lies lycopene’s red glow,
A powerful shield for cells, defending as they grow,
It battles signs of aging, protects against disease,
And brings a quiet comfort, a healing sense of ease.
Low in calories, they nourish without a heavy cost,
For those who seek a balanced life, no benefits are lost,
A gentle gift of nature for the body, light yet strong,
To help maintain good health while life keeps moving along.
To eat them fresh is simple, slice them, serve them bright,
Add them into sandwiches, or salsa full of light,
Toss them in your salads for a burst of crimson cheer,
A daily dose of wellness served in flavors rich and clear.
Cook them slow in sauces, or simmered soups so warm,
Heat releases lycopene in its most protective form,
Grilled or roasted, intensified, their flavor will delight,
A superfood transformed by flame, yet keeping health in sight.
So welcome in the tomatoes, let them brighten up your day,
A gift of taste and nourishment in every red array,
With every bite you’re choosing health, with flavor intertwined,
A timeless food of healing, for both body and the mind.
