Tomatoes, cherry, raw

Cherry tomatoes are small tomatoes eaten as a vegetable. The figures here describe them raw. They contain mainly water, with carbohydrate, fibre and small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, they provide 3.6g of carbohydrate, 1.3g of fibre, 15mg of vitamin C and 274mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function, while fibre supports bowel function. Raw cherry tomatoes contain little salt or saturated fat, which may be relevant when monitoring these in the diet. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
