|
|
Add canned organic tomatoes to your favorite ingredients for omelets, frittatas or quiches. |
|
|
Add organic salsa to scrambled eggs for a breakfast dish with a Mexican flair. |
|
|
Warm up during the fall and winter months with a good, old-fashioned bowl of tomato soup. |
|
|
Add heaping amounts of organic crushed tomatoes to your favorite toppings on a baked potato. |
|
|
Use canned organic diced tomatoes in your favorite bruschetta recipes. |
|
|
Add canned organic tomato paste to your gravies for a richer, thicker sauce. |
|
|
Replace fat-heavy dips and potato chips with baked tortilla chips and salsa. |
|
|
Use canned organic whole tomatoes and tomato paste in your tomato-based pasta sauces. |
|
|
Eat more processed tomato products like spaghetti sauce and canned tomatoes. Processed tomatoes have a higher lycopene content than fresh tomatoes. |
