mistaken to be a vegetable. This fruit is
found anywhere around the world and is
used to prepare dish such as stew,jellof rice,

Personal I did prefer it to dish but when I
started to research on tomatoes and how
beneficial it could be to human health, I
found out that it’s nutrients are best utilized
and beneficial to the body when eaten in it’s
fresh state.So I had to switch things up by
eating it in it’s fresh state.
