Cherry Tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes are a fantastic snack alternative because they are small, tasty and offer important nutrients. Tomatoes are low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. They're also an interesting source of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Potassium and Manganese.
Avoid product that is too soft, wrinkled or that has broken skin. Tomatoes with a green blush will ripen, but avoid product with blotchy green or brown areas.
Cherry tomatoes are fantastic for dipping. However, make sure to select healthy dipping sauces that are low in fat, sugar and calories.
