As a matter of fact, storage-ripened fruits and vegetables are quite sub-standard.

TWO TOMATOES A DAY KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY The Deccan Chronicle Thursday, December 16, 1999 The tomato is one of the most important vegetables in most regions of the world. About 130 years ago, tomato was considered poisonous. It was regarded as an acidic food and thus people suffering from gout, acidity and rheumatism were advised not to use it. But today, the latest studies provide information that it has unsurpassable health-giving qualities and is essentially an alkaline vegetable. It is a high source of folic acid, vitamin C, phosphorous, calcium, fibre, vitamin A (carotene) and is low in calories. The acid taste is due to malic acid, which is only 0.5 per cent. The end product after digestion is also alkaline and neutralises acid compounds of the body. Thus tomato is highly beneficial for diseases associated with too much acid in the system. It is also considered to be anti-mucilaginous, a detoxifier and a cleanser. Fresh raw tomato juice is probably one of the best and cheapest juices. It has an alkaline reaction, is anti-cancerous and a natural stimulant that helps kidneys wash away toxins. It is a myth that tomatoes cause stones in the gall bladder and urinary calculi. Tomato as an external application is a useful cosmetic. The pulp can be left for 30 to 40 minutes on the face and washed with water to remove excess tan, soothe the skin, improve the complexion and take care of pimples and blemishes.Diabetics can benefit from eating tomatoes as they are low in carbohydrates, high in vitamin C and help in weight reduction. Being an equally good source of vitamin A, it is excellent nourishment for the eyes and skin.A fresh glass of tomato juice early in the morning is good for asthmatics, the obese and those with lung disorders. Tomatoes have an anti-mucilaginous property and so help clear congestion. It is also an effective detoxifier and hence good for treating ailments like jaundice, morning sickness, flatulence, constipation and urinary disorders. In fact, it prevents the formation of urinary calculi.Maximum health benefit can be derived by consuming a glass of raw tomato juice in the morning or eating two to three ripe red tomatoes before noon daily.
