    Tomato is rich in vitamin C and organic acids, it has a reducing effect on iron in vegetables, and can promote the body's absorption of iron. From this perspective, it is good for anemia to eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are also excellent vegetables and fruits in summer because they have certain stomach-enhancing, digestive and heat-clearing effects. However, it should be noted that tomatoes grown in greenhouses in winter have low vitamin C content and insufficient organic acid content, and tomatoes grown in the open air have higher nutritional value.
