10 Low Carb Fruits
Fruit #5: Tomatoes
Although tomatoes usually get lumped in with the vegetable family, they are a fruit. In addition to being a low carbohydrate fruit, tomatoes are also loaded with antioxidants. Some of these antioxidants include lycopene and vitamin C. Lycopene is a red carotene and is found in red and dark orange food items such as watermelon, carrots, and papayas. Tomatoes have one of the highest amounts of lycopene.
Tomatoes can easily be incorporated into many meals. They can be chopped and put in salads and sandwiches. Cherry tomatoes are easy to pack as snacks and taste very good with hummus, avocado, or salt and pepper!
