Are tomatoes high in carbohydrates?

One tomato measuring 2-2/5 inches in diameter contains 3.5 grams of carbohydrates, making it a relatively low-carb food. Tomatoes of the same size are also low in sodium, with a single serving only containing 4 milligrams.

Since tomatoes are low in carbohydrates, they are suitable for diabetics and other people needing to keep their blood sugar levels in check. Furthermore, the antioxidant lycopene, which gives tomatoes their rich color, helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.

People can enjoy tomatoes by themselves or with other ingredients, such as chicken and avocado. They work well in both salads and sandwiches, and they also make a decent paste.
