Tomatoes, standard, raw

Tomatoes are a fruit commonly eaten as a vegetable. These figures describe standard raw tomatoes, including UK-grown and imported varieties sold on the vine or loose. They consist mainly of water and provide carbohydrate, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 3g of carbohydrate, 1g of fibre, 22mg of vitamin C and 223mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, while fibre supports bowel function. Raw tomatoes contain little fat, saturated fat or salt, and their sugars occur naturally. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
