The Hottest Color in Tomatoes

True, tomatoes are rich in lycopene. But which kind has more: red ones or orange ones?

Luscious Lycopene
Lycopene comes in lots of different forms, some of which are easier for your body to absorb than others.

I enjoy tomato salad made with onions, olive oil and vinegar. It's a great side dish with any meal.

I have been trying for years to like the taste of tomatoes, but to no avail. Finally, I stumbled upon a trick which works like a charm. When you add strawberries to your tossed salads, along with the tomatoes, you can no longer taste the tomatoes! Plus, everyone who has tasted my concoction loves the addition...even those who like tomatoes.
