7Tomatoes

Tomatoes play a central role in many Greek dishes, from horiatiki (Greek salad) to savory stews and sauces.

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. They’re also packed with vitamin C, potassium, and folate. In Greece, tomatoes are often combined with olive oil, which increases the absorption of lycopene, making them even healthier.
