You don't make tomatoes palatable. You stay away from them. Not only
does a tomato have a lot of carbs, in my mind a tomato is a dangerous thing. I worked in a canning factory back when I was just out of high school. It only took a short time period of time working with steaming tomatoes on the assembly line before the acid from the tomatoes started taking the skin off of my hands, arms, and leg spots. It did that to everyone, no matter how much you tried to protect yourself. It was the only vegetable I worked with that actually caused body damage. Even after 40 years, tomatoes still bring back bad memories. The situation would make a good horror movie. One of the blessings of the low-carb diet is that it considers tomatoes to high-carb to include them in the basic diet. Thank God! A great excuse not to eat tomatoes!

It *might* be the lycopene, but they tested the whole juice, so that's what I'm drinking. The trouble is that I *hate* tomato juice. I also hate tomato soup and raw tomatoes. I like ketchup and pizza sauce well enough, but as you can imagine, it's a little hard to get the whole 8 oz that way. So my question is this: how do you make tomato juice palatable? I've been adding a little toasted sesame oil, which goes well, but does anybody have a suggestion as to how to make it better? So far, I've been just holding my nose and chugging it, then brushing my teeth. Chakolate |
