Men who eat two or more servings of tomato products average a 35 percent reduction in prostate cancer risk. Lycopene boosts fertility in men. The research shows that lycopene improved sperm count by up to 70 percent and swimming speed, and reduced the number of abnormal sperm. |

Fresh ripe tomatoes regardless of size feature beautiful bright-red color, firm and have a rich fruity flavor. Avoid those with wrinkled surface, discolored spots, cuts and too soft.
Tomatoes keep best unwashed at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Ripe tomatoes are one of the easily perishable vegetables and should be stored in the refrigerator. Tomatoes that are not yet ripe can be kept in a paper bag till ripening. |
