10. Tomatoes

Gardeners Path

Most people believe that tomatoes are vegetables, but they are actually considered a fruit since they fit the botanical description of one. Not only are tomatoes low calorie, but they are very low in sodium, carbohydrates, and fat content. They are probably best known as dietary sources of the antioxidant lycopene. Lycopene is associated with many benefits, like the reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Moreover, they are amazing sources of potassium, folate, and vitamins C and K. However, because of their high potassium content, those that suffer from kidney issues should speak with their doctors about how much tomatoes they can add to their daily diets.
