4. Read the text and the nutritional value of tomatoes.

Tomatoes are not vegetables as many people think. They are a fruit. They come in
different sizes and colours. Tomatoes are a basic ingredient of many popular foods like
pizzas and ketchup and healthier dishes like salads and sauces of all kinds.

Tomatoes contain essential nutrients and are high in vitamin C. This vitamin helps the
body grow and it can help to repair it. In addition, tomatoes are a source of vitamin H.
This vitamin helps the body in the production of energy. Tomatoes also contain
minerals like potassium and copper. These minerals help to regulate body functions.
