   Nutritional Value
   Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, and they are full of fiber. Field or vine-ripened summer tomatoes are higher in vitamin C than greenhouse tomatoes grown in the fall and winter, and fresh tomatoes have more vitamin C than when they are cooked or canned. Tomatoes are also noted for containing the antioxidant compound lycopene, which may help protect against prostate cancer and heart disease. Link.

2. Tiny Tim Cherry Tomato
   Sweet, scarlet red 2.5 cm (1″) diameter fruit. Available year-round.
   

   Description
   Cherry tomatoes are generally much sweeter than large tomatoes. The size and color of cherry tomatoes have a wide range, as there are hundreds of varieties. The perfect cherry tomato will be, first and foremost, in-season. It should be almost firm, thin, and smooth-skinned. The flavor will be a fine balance of sweet and tart. Like all tomatoes, cherry tomatoes can be classified based on how they grow, as their plants produce in two different forms: determinate or indeterminate. Determinate varieties grow on bush-like plants with short vines and bear just one crop per season, while indeterminate varieties are long, sprawling vine plants that bear fruit continuously throughout the season.

   Seasons/Availability
   Cherry tomatoes are available year-round with a peak season in the summer months.

   Nutritional Value
   Cherry tomatoes are miniature versions of traditional beefsteak tomatoes, but they are equally as nutritious. In addition to being high in fiber and vitamin C, they also have a healthy dose of other vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health, including vitamin B-6, which helps your body metabolize protein and supports cognitive development and brain function. Vitamin A is also present, which aids your body in producing white blood cells and keeps your heart, lungs and kidneys working properly. Link.
