Starting with Green Tomatoes.
Green tomatoes are a rich source of vitamin C and fibre which are good for your immune and digestive systems. Green tomatoes also contain tomatine. Scientists believe that a diet filled with fibre and tomatine can reduce your risk of many diseases including cancer and heart disease.
In fact, green tomatoes are known to be better for you than red tomatoes for certain things.
Such as premature aging!
