“Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and potassium, both of which most people need more of,” notes Bowden. “Interesting factoid: gram for gram, tomato puree has more potassium than fresh tomatoes, and tomato pastehas twice the potassium of the puree! Nonetheless, tomatoes in general are considered a high-potassium food.” For comparison, a medium tomato has 292 mg of potassium while a medium banana has 422 mg.
