5 slice (medium) of Sliced Tomatoes (80 g) has 14 calories. That works out to 18 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.1 g of carbs, 0.7 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 11 mg of Vitamin C covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Sliced tomatoes are ripe tomatoes cut into rounds or lengthwise pieces, with their juicy flesh, seeds and soft centres intact. They are an easy addition to sandwiches, salads and open-faced toast, and are served alongside meals in many cuisines. In Turkey, they often appear at breakfast with bread, cheese and olives.
Their texture is tender and juicy, while the flavour ranges from gently sweet to tangy; ripe summer tomatoes tend to be especially fragrant. Serve the slices chilled in a salad or layer them into a sandwich, where they bring freshness to richer fillings.
Tomatoes are mostly water, with fibre, vitamin C and lycopene, and are low in calories. For a simple, lighter side, pair them with leafy herbs and a squeeze of lemon instead of a heavy dressing.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, refrigerate sliced tomatoes in a covered container. Cutting exposes the moist flesh to air and handling, so slices spoil faster than whole tomatoes. Keep them chilled until serving, and avoid leaving them out for extended periods.
Sliced tomatoes generally keep for a few days when refrigerated in an airtight container. Discard them if they become slimy, moldy, or develop an unusual smell. Taking out only the amount you need helps keep the remaining slices fresh.
Yes, you can freeze sliced tomatoes, but thawed slices turn soft and release liquid. They work best in cooked dishes such as soups, sauces, and stews rather than salads or sandwiches. Freeze the slices in a single layer before transferring them to a sealed container.
Pat sliced tomatoes dry and add them to a sandwich just before eating. You can also place them between drier fillings or carry the slices separately. This limits the moisture that seeps into the bread while the sandwich sits.
Yes, you can slice tomatoes ahead, but keep them covered in the refrigerator and use them within a few days. For the freshest texture, drain any liquid that collects and arrange the slices on the plate shortly before serving.
Yes, rinse tomatoes under running water and dry them before slicing. Washing already-cut slices can make them watery and damage their texture. Use a clean knife and cutting board to avoid transferring dirt or germs onto the fresh cut surfaces.
No, tomato seeds and their surrounding gel are edible, so removing them is optional. If you are using sliced tomatoes in a sandwich, tart, or other dish where excess moisture is a problem, scoop out the gel before cutting.
Yes, sliced tomatoes can be a nutritious addition to meals. They provide vitamin C and lycopene and are easy to add to salads, sandwiches, or a cooked dish. Refrigerate any slices you do not serve right away.
Yes, sliced tomatoes can be cooked in omelets, sauces, soups, or baked dishes. They soften and release liquid as they heat, so allow for that moisture in the recipe. For a firmer result, add the slices nearer the end of cooking.
Add leftover sliced tomatoes to an omelet, pasta sauce, soup, or roasted vegetable dish. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until you use them, and choose a cooked recipe if the slices have softened or released a lot of liquid.
