From Ayurvedic point of View:
For vegetarians, beans , dals, and lentils are an essential source of
nutrition—protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. As
versatile as they are tasty, dals and lentils are used to make salads,
appetizers, soups, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts, too. They fit
well with other foods, such as grain, vegetables, herbs, and spices.
According to Ayurveda, all three Doshas are imbalanced by tomato . But
in moderation, tomatoes are also a good source of Potassium and vitamins,
especially vitamin A and vitamin C.
Vitamin A is an antioxidant that is extracted from carotenoids, such as
beta-carotene, present in tomatoes. Being an antioxidant, vitamin A helps
shield the body’s cells from free radicals that may damage them. Free
radicals are created as the body breaks down food or reactions to the
environment, such as radiation and cigarette smoke. But safety from the
effects of free radicals is not the only benefit. Vitamin A also influences
good vision, bone growth, cell activity, reproduction, and immune system
activity.
