Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Juice (Tomato Juice)

Solanum lycopersicum

Rumour has it that if you say Bloody Mary three times in front of a mirror, a tall glass of freshly made red tomato juice will appear. 

Cousin to both deadly belladonna and the wonderful potato, tomatoes are members of the nightshade family. Technically a fruit and berry, though more commonly thought of as a vegetable, tomatoes come in all shapes, colours and sizes, including, of course, vibrant red. 

What are the benefits of tomatoes? 

• Cooling
• Deodorising
• Exfoliating

Besides being the perfect cocktail accompaniment, tomato juice has a whole host of protective qualities. Tomatoes are rich in nutrients and compounds such as vitamin C, potassium and lycopene, both antioxidants with the potential to calm and soothe. The astringent acids in tomato are also useful as a natural exfoliant, and their 93% water content offers hydration too.
