Nutritional facts of tomatoes

The water content of tomatoes is about 95%, with the other 5% being mainly carbohydrates and fiber.

• Tomatoes are good sources of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K, vitamin B9 (folate), etc.
• Including tomatoes in the diet can help prevent cancer, maintain healthy blood pressure and reduce blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.
• They contain key carotenoids like lutein and lycopene. These can protect the eye against light-induced damage.
• Tomatoes are among the top ten fruits and vegetables for containing levels of pesticide residue.

Growing tomato seeds

Sprinkle the seed thinly onto good-quality seed compost. Cover with 1.5mm of compost and water lightly with a watering can.

If you are growing a few plants…

• Sow two seeds into a 7.5cm pot. Keep the compost moist but be careful not to overwater as wet conditions can encourage “damping-off” disease and other mold problems.
• After germination, remove the smaller plant.
• Pot on the tomato seedlings as soon as they are big enough to handle. Hold the plants by the leaves.
• Taking care not to touch the stems, transplant them into 7.5cm pots. Protect the plant from frost, cold winds, droughts, etc.

If you want to grow them outside…

• Make sure you dig in plenty of garden compost or manure just before planting, because tomatoes are hungry plants!
• Plant tomatoes about 45cm apart leaving 75cm between the rows

Note:

Tomato plants need a lot of water and are fed with manure if they are to produce a bountiful crop. For best results, water little and often!
