The Benefits of Eating Avocados and Tomatoes Together

Pairing certain foods together, in a concept known as food synergy, helps to maximise their nutritional and health benefits. Combining the right foods can increase the body’s ability to absorb their antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

One of these super-combinations is tomato and avocado. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant known as carotenoid, which gives the tomato its red color. Consuming it with a healthy fat such as avocado makes it easier for the body to absorb lycopene, as fats make carotenoids more bioavailable.

Some of the benefits of lycopene include:

• Reduction of inflammation
• Cancer prevention
• Prevention of heart disease and blood vessel problems
• Prevention of age-related diseases such as cataracts

So now you can feel even better about eating this tomato avocado toast recipe! 🙂

Tips for Storing Avocados and Tomatoes

Here are a couple of pointers I have learned through experience about how to store both avocados and tomatoes:

• How to store avocados: Store whole avocados at room temperature. If they are very soft and ripe, you can prevent them from spoiling for a few extra days by putting them in the fridge, but you’ll pay for it a bit in flavor. It’s better just to keep avocados in your pantry or on the counter and enjoy them right away.
• How to store tomatoes: Store tomatoes at room temperature. Tomatoes begin to lose their flavor and texture when put in the fridge, turning mealy, mushy, and flavorless. For best results, store tomatoes in your pantry or leave them right out on the counter.

What to Serve with Tomato Avocado Toast

If you plan on having this for lunch or dinner, I recommend serving it with a bowl of soup for a more satisfying meal. Here are some of my favorite soup recipes compliment the flavors in the avocado tomato toast very well:

• Creamy Mushroom Soup Recipe
• Butternut Squash Apple Soup
• Curried Coconut Pumpkin Soup
• Vegetable Soup Recipe
• Easy Coconut Carrot Soup
