Tomatoes are believed to contain thousands of different phytonutrients. With more and more research being carried out into how powerful phytonutrients are in the prevention and cure of many diseases, especially in the prevention of cancer, ensuring tomatoes are part of our regular diet makes Primal common sense. Tomatoes are another excellent source of the double act lutein and zeaxanthin, which have multiple health benefits. The innards are rich in vitamin C, and consuming just two medium-sized tomatoes is sufficient to surpass our RDA for this vital water-soluble vitamin.

A rich source of: lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C.
