8. Tomatoes

Whether you call them fruits or vegetables, there’s no debating that tomatoes are good for your health. They are high in vitamins B9, C, and K1, as well as potassium and beta-carotene. Research suggests that a high intake of lycopene, an antioxidant carotenoid found in tomatoes, is associated with a reduced risk of cancer.
