      How To Grow Tomatoes

      *****

      Introduction

      A vegetable garden at home is the easiest way to ensure a great supply of juicy tomatoes all year round! You will not have to rely on the less-than-fresh produce available in supermarkets that are most likely filled with chemicals. Growing tomatoes at home means you can not only prepare a fresh salad every day, but also enjoy hours of fun in the garden.

      Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow and with a little care you can savour a new tomato recipe every day. Whether you like them freshly chopped, sun dried, pickled or in sauces, tomatoes are a great source of nutrients that make your food tasty and fill it with nutritional goodness.

      Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and essential micronutrients. These juicy fruits contain micronutrients like folates and vitamins A, C, E, and K. Tomatoes are also rich in electrolytes like sodium and potassium as well as minerals like iron, manganese, calcium, zinc, phosphorus and magnesium. Thanks to the beta-carotene present in tomatoes, they offer a myriad of health benefits.

      Tomatoes are extremely low-fat and low-calorie, making them the perfect snack for your healthy everyday diet. The rich reserves of vitamins found in tomatoes make them an effective anti-oxidant that cleans the blood stream, improves eyesight, strengthens bones, and prevents cell damage.

      The large reserves of potassium and vitamin B keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels in control, making tomatoes useful in battling heart troubles, diabetes and cancer. Tomatoes are excellent supplements to maintain strong, glowing and naturally resilient hair, skin and teeth.
