When the girls came back into the house from a potty break this evening Risha was carrying an almost-ripe tomato in her mouth. After checking it over and finding it pretty much unblemished, I decided to be a good sport and let her eat it. Risha trotted happily to her bed with this prize and consumed it, in a very dainty but efficient manner, within 2 minutes, 14 seconds.

She didn't ask for salt, olive oil, mozzarella, basil, capers, anchovies, or even a fork. Or a napkin.
Think that her palate is unrefined? She chose not to eat the tomato stem. The tomato fruit is a good source of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin
B6, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of
Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Potassium and
Manganese.
Risha says, eat your tomatoes!
