Book Description
Excerpt from the Book:
Fun Tomato Facts
• 93% of home gardeners grow tomatoes
• The world’s heaviest tomato weighed in at 7 lbs., 12 oz.
• Tomato juice is the state beverage of Ohio.
• Cooked tomatoes boost the skin’s ability to fight the damaging effects of the sun.
• Tomatoes come in red, orange, yellow, pink, green, and even blue.
• Tomatoes were imported to Europe as an ornamental rather than an edible plant.
• As members of the nightshade family, tomatoes are kin to potatoes, peppers, eggplant, and tobacco.
Here’s a fact that deserves an entire paragraph: Bunol, Spain, hosts a tomato throwing festival every year. Over a hundred thousand tons of tomatoes are brought in to the small Spanish town. Some 50,000 people travel from all over the world to participate in the hour-long tomato-throwing event. But we still think cooking is a better use of tomatoes.

About the Author:
Best-selling author Dana Carpender was startled to discover that limiting her carbohydrate intake not only helped her control her weight, but produced the health and vitality a low fat diet had promised but never delivered. Years later, she laughs at people who say “You can’t eat that way long-term.” Her cookbooks are the result of her realization that the key to permanent dietary change is the answer to the age-old question, “What’s for supper?” She is the author of six cookbooks, including the national bestseller 500 Low-Carb Recipes. She is also the author of 500 Paleo Recipes, and How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds. Her books have sold over a million copies worldwide. Previously a syndicated national columnist, Dana is now managing editor of CarbSmart.com, and tries to keep up with her blog at HoldTheToast.com. Dana lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband and a menagerie of pets, all of whom are well and healthily fed.
