Foods For Success!

Red, Juicy Tomatoes
Picture a typical Mediterranean kitchen. You'll see lots of ripe red tomatoes, sliced fresh on a cutting board or simmering in an aromatic sauce. The same scene is common in Sonoma homes and restaurants, where vine-ripened and often homegrown tomatoes are key to the region's healthy and satisfying way of eating.
Try tomatoes in all their many forms: fresh, canned, as a sauce, or as a paste — all of which are high in lycopene, a phytonutrient that reduces your risk of cancer. Fresh tomatoes are best in the summer, so stock up and enjoy them at their peak. In the colder months, make your own tomato sauces and soups with canned tomatoes. Some canned tomatoes come with added flavors, like Muir Glen's fire-roasted tomatoes, to make your cooking even easier and tastier.
Eating tomatoes will help you lose weight, keep your heart healthy, and stay cancer-free as you grow older. That's the mark of a true power food.
