When we think of tomatoes that taste better in the summer, we imagine large, round tomatoes that fit in the palm of your hand, but cherry tomatoes began to appear on the market in the 1980s.

They have become increasingly popular due to their use as an accent in dishes and bento boxes, and their ease of eating without cutting, and currently the trading value of cherry tomatoes in the market is greater than that of large tomatoes.

Cherry tomatoes are better than large tomatoes

text

Cherry tomatoes are also more nutritious than large tomatoes, containing 1.8 times more beta-carotene per 100g than large tomatoes, which helps strengthen the mucous membranes of the skin, nose, and throat, and 2.1 times more vitamin C.

Tomatoes are also rich in the red pigment lycopene, which has antioxidant properties and helps maintain immunity. When tomatoes are heated, the cell walls of lycopene are broken down, increasing its absorption. Because it is heat-resistant and easily dissolves in oil, cooking with oil further increases its absorption rate.

Even in the summer, viral illnesses in children are prevalent. There is no cure, and treatment is mainly symptomatic, depending on the symptoms. Therefore, it is important to take in beta-carotene and lycopene on a daily basis. We want children to enjoy large tomatoes and cherry tomatoes and spend the summer in good health.
