Tomato is a star summer ingredient that stands out nutritionally for its vitamin C and A content, and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant (and the one responsible for the red color), which is associated with health benefits, such as reducing cardiovascular risk. In addition, its high water content contributes to adequate hydration, essential in the currently hot months.
The guide El tomàquet del Bages a la cuina is one of the publications in the “Guies del rebost del Bages” collection developed by the Alícia Foundation and promoted by the Bages County Council and the entity “El Rebost del Bages”. A guide aimed at the final consumer, but also at restaurants and agricultural producers, where they will find information on local tomato varieties, their culinary applications, their nutritional contribution, tips on how to use them and, above all, how to consume them through a wide variety of recipes.
