So whether your favourite healthy recipe uses sweet, ripe plum tomatoes or classic vine ripened tomatoes, why not send it in to britishtomatoes@haygarth.co.uk before the end of August 2008 and help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. It’s not only the succulent taste that tomatoes bring to your recipe - they’re also packed with vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. According to recent research* lycopene, the antioxidant responsible for the natural red pigment in ripe tomatoes, may be particularly active in protecting the body against diseases such as cancer and heart disease. In fact, British tomatoes have been found to have significantly higher levels of lycopene than long-life imported tomatoes - yet another reason to lower your food miles and buy British. Fresh tomatoes are also crammed with calcium, which keeps your bones and teeth strong. To find out more visit www.britishtomatoes.co.uk.
