Tomatoes are very popular garden item and can be found in any color, shape, and size. My favorite tomatoes are Heirlooms or open-pollinated kinds. These tomatoes don’t always have the nicest shape but they have the most wonderful flavor and texture. Mortgage Lifter is one heirloom kind I plant every year. We love the meaty flesh and the wonderful flavor. You will also finds these kinds; Yellow Brandywine, Green Zebra, and Amish Paste Tomatoes in my garden. There are so many recipes to make using tomatoes and it is hard to pick out a favorite. This Salsa is a delightful addition to summertimes menus. It can be served with Baked Tostitos, Lavash Pitas, or as a condiment for meats.
Tomatoes have some very great health benefits. A medium tomato or 1 cup diced tomato provides over 1/3 of the daily allowance of Vitamin C and nearly a third of Vitamin A. Tomatoes also are a wonderful source in antioxidant Lycopene and help to prevent cardiovascular disease. They are also a great source of fiber, iron, and potassium.
