Fresh Ingredients

Get to know your tomatoes for a variation with different organic options. Although yellow tomatoes are a bit sweeter, they also have lower amounts of vitamin C and a bit higher in sodium than red tomatoes. They each have different balances of sugars and acids, so decide which is healthier in your recipe for your health needs.
