Health benefits of tomatoes

Whether you think of them as a fruit or a vegetable, there’s no denying that tomatoes are a great source of the essential vitamins and minerals that make up a healthy diet.

Nutrient-packed with vitamins A to E

Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, biotin, molybdenum and vitamin K. They also contain copper, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, folate, niacin and phosphorus, as well as the vitamins A, B6 and E. Additionally, tomatoes contain several additional antioxidants such as flavanones, flavonols, hydroxycinnamic acids, carotenoids, glycosides and fatty acid derivatives.

The organic tomato sauce difference

Organically grown tomatoes (like the ones in this sauce) have some key differences from the traditional kind you’ll find in the supermarket. Organic foods have to meet all the quality requirements of the USDA National Organics Program, which puts them on a higher grading system. Some of the base qualifications include the no pesticides, no growth hormones, and no GMOs. In general, organic products will have fewer chemicals and less processing, which makes them a more healthful choice.

Why you should go organic

When it comes to taste and tomatoes, you should definitely choose organic. Because this nutrient-dense fruit was one of the first plants to be genetically modified to have a longer shelf life, conventional and genetically engineered tomatoes are notorious for tasting bland, grainy, and watery. Studies have also shown that organic tomatoes are significantly higher in nutrients. Not to mention, sustainably raised and farmed plants are just better for the planet.

The Sicilian tradition

Sicily is the oldest Italian and Western location where pasta, as we know it today, was part of the local cuisine, dating as far back as the 12th century. And although its has a lot in common with Italian cuisine, Sicilian food also has Greek, Spanish, French and Arab influences. Because Sicily was ruled by the Saracens for 400 years, the region became accustomed to sugar and used it in some their cooking, often through the use of apricots, citrus and sweet melons.

Some of the most popular Sicilian pasta dishes are spaghetti ai ricci (spaghetti with sea urchin), pasta con le sarde (sardines) and pasta alla norma (sautéed eggplant tossed with tomato sauce and topped with ricotta). Manicotti is also another common dish.

You can easily prepare and enjoy any one of these authentic pasta dishes at home using Thrive Market’s Organic Sicilian Gravy Sauce, instead of making it from scratch, which will score just as many points with your dinner guests and also save you time.
