FRESH TOMATO RECIPES
(Keywords: FRESH TOMATO RECIPES, tomato basil soup recipe, homemade tomato sauce recipe, tomato relish) As you probably know the red colour in tomatoes is a lycopene that is a powerful anti cancer substance. In fact, men who eat a tomato a day have 50% protection against prostate cancer, the meanest and most malignant of male cancers. Cooked or raw tomatoes give protection against cancer, and not just the prostate.
TOMATO PROSTATE ...  Custom Search FIVE COLOURED FRUIT AND VEG PER DAYAs you almost certainly also know, it's very widely published, we must eat at least five coloured fruit and veg per day. I try to eat ten. Fresh tomato recipes make a great start, and one or more tomatoes should be on the menu EVERY DAY!
WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST TODAY?Did you make a start on your FIVE fruit and veg, say at least TWO? On a Sunday, we make a pig of ourselves, trying very hard to get five colours into breakfast. It's not difficult, and it's not rocket science.
CALORIES AND GLYCEMIC INDEXTomatoes have a remarkably low calory count, by the way. Only 18kcal /100g (compared to bread 250kcal/ 100g).And a very low Glycemic Index of 15. The glycemic index gives us a measure of the insulin response to various carbohydrates. Insulin is sometimes called the fat storage hormone, it causes the cells and the liver to absorbe blood glucose, firstly for energy and the balance is stored as adipose tissue. Fat!
CARBOHYDRATE COUNT CHART and the GLYCEMIC INDEX ... Tomato RelishThe beauty of fresh tomato recipes is how quickly you can prepare them. Take this tomato relish for example. The most difficult and time consuming chore is peeling the garlic. You can throw the whole lot together in under five minutes.
Apologies, a lousy photograph, I forgot about the bright morning light. I should have used a flash. Here my granddaughter is about to tuck into tomato relish on whole wheat toast and parsley scrambled egg. Butter and egg? Yes, you can eat butter, much better than margarine, if you eat all the fibre recommended. And two or three eggs a week for the high quality protein, B12 and lecithin is excellent.
FRESH TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA
Place alternating slices of tomato with leaves of sweet basil, top with slices of mozzarella cheese, add a healthy dash of lemon juice and dribble with olive oil. Divine. Baby Beth made sure I didn't fall over my feet! PS. Ever thought of growing lemon trees ? A Mayer lemon is small, a magnificent decorative tree with the golden-yellow fruit, and it bears almost all year round. Except in Chicago where you'd better grow them in pots and bring it in for the winter.
FRUIT SALAD
And of course the oats porridge that we enjoy most days. It's top of the list of super foods for lowering cholesterol, so you can enjoy a dollop of butter, and for me fresh, raw honey. That's almost impossible for you to get unless you know a small beekeeper. The so-called "raw" stuff in the shops is mostly heated, and little more value than sugar.
MAKING A COMPOST PILEFive fruit and vegCan you count FIVE fruit and veg? And that was breakfast. We'll certainly enjoy another five during the day. A fresh spinach salad for lunch, half a dozen olives, hummus on a sandwich... that's nearly TEN for the day. If you're not managing FIVE every day then expect arthritis, vascular disease, the big C or some other nasty. They're lurking on the horizon...Interesting: tomato for cancer of the prostate and phytosterols for enlarged and inflammed prostate glands. Tomatoes and olives, ah...Pickling olives is soooo easy. Just buy a big tin of olives, some vinegar and olive oil, and away you go. Well, some chillies would be useful too. This is the first season I have tried my luck with how to grow chilli ... how easy, I have enough chillies in the freezer for the rest of the year.
