Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and potassium that most people need. Interesting factoid: tomato puree has more potassium than fresh tomatoes, gram for gram, and tomato paste has twice puree potassium.
However, Tomatoes are generally regarded as a high potassium food. In comparison, 292 mg potassium is in a medium tomato and 422 mg is in a medium banana.
