It’s National Vegetarian Week B0007830 Credit Daniel J. Geduld, Wellcome Images Tomato skin Light micrograph showing close up structure of tomato skin. Tomatoes have been reported to have a number of health benefits. They contain vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin K as well as high levels of a number of carotenoids. Lycopene is a carotenoid that is found in high levels in the skin of the tomato fruit and is responsible for the red colouring; it is also an antioxidant and has been suggested to protect the skin from UV and sun damage.  Copyrighted work available under Creative Commons by-nc 2.0 UK: England & Wales, see http://images.wellcome.ac.uk/indexplus/page/Prices.html  Tweet // ]]]]>]]> // ]]]]>]]>
