Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe, where it was first mentioned in 1556.The French called it "the apple of love", the Germans "the apple of paradise（乐园）”。 Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and fiber,and are cholesterol(胆固醇）free.An average size tomato (148 grams or so)has only 35 calories.

Professor Mark Birch-Machin said tomatoes could provide a cheap and easy way of improving health. Researchers at Manchester and Newcastle universities recommend two tomato-based meals a day for health. Possible menus include a glass of tomato juice with breakfast and a salad later or tomato soup for lunch and pasta(意大利面)with a tomato sauce for dinner. To test the fruit's ability to protect the skin, ten volunteers were asked to eat five tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with olive oil every day for three months. Another ten had a daily dose of olive oil-—minus the tomato paste. The tests showed the tomato eaters were a third better protected against sunburn at the end of the study than at the start, the British Society for Investigative Dermatology's annual conference heard. The researchers stressed, however,that their findings were not an excuse to throw away the sun cream. Professor Lesley Rhodes, a Manchester University dermatologist, said:“People should not think tomatoes in any way can replace sun creams but they may be a good additive." 1.
