While I previously shared the nutrition information for the bulb vegetables, I am starting the next series on the fruit vegetable category with tomatoes.
I am including some of the available information on USDA and Wikipedia. Also, I did some rounding. I am including the items normally listed on the Nutrition Facts Label on food products.
Nutritional Value per 100 g (3.5 oz) of Raw Tomatoes
Calories:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 18
Fat:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.2 g
Sodium:         5.0 mg   0%
Carbohydrates:Â Â Â 3.9 g
Sugars:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2.6 g
Dietary Fiber:Â Â Â Â 1.2 g
Protein:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.9 g
Vitamin C:      14.0 mg   17%  – normally the nutrition facts label includes vitamin D
Calcium:       10.0 mg    1%
Iron:           0.3 mg     2%
Potassium:     237.0 mg    5%
Water         94.5 g
The percentages above tell you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet of 2,000 calories.
The last vegetable that I shared the nutrition information was for leeks which is a bub vegetable.
