Yellow Tomatoes





Red tomatoes are everywhere. In many sizes and shapes. Movie goers will remember the green tomato. Yellow, purple and orange tomatoes are understated. We hear less about them. Yellow tomatoes have less vitamin C and less lycopene than red tomatoes. however they are high in niacin and folate. For people who suffer when they eat acidic food, yellow tomatoes are lower in acid which is good news for your digestion. Due to it's low acid this tomato may have more of a natural sweet flavour. You can easily replace red tomatoes for yellow tomatoes with the majority of any recipes. They would be great for salads and sauces. They certainly would make for an interesting ketchup!    -JW
