A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, a phytochemical or naturally-occuring plant chemical in foods that may be helpful in reducing the risk of certain types of cancer in some people.
"I love appetizers. And when I didn't feel up to going out, my daughter-in-law would stop over with this tasty dish, made with fresh tomatoes from her garden. So favorful!" -Catherine H.
