The harvest season is upon us!! Tomatoes are so fantastic for so many reasons, yet can also be toxic to some. The beautiful red color, lycopene, rejuvenates cells preventing cancer causing mutation, and degeneration from free-radicals. Best eaten cooked with olive oil for better absorption of these fat soluble nutrients. If you have arthritis, kidney, and/or gall stones always remove the skin and seeds before cooking. These parts are high in oxalate, and are responsible for most issues concerning bad reactions to tomatoes. #Skin, #deseed, #cook, #rejuvenate. The skin of the tomato also absorbs pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Always choose organic, farm stand, or backyard varieties to avoid eating these harmful chemicals. #dirty15 #growyourownfood
