Tomatoes --- night shade, too yin



Macrobiotically, tomatoes, along with potatoes, egg plants and peppers, are considered too yin.
so they are not recommended to eat too much, or if you are out of balance, feeling not well, it's better to avoid.

but they are in season now!
so here is one of the suggestions to balance out the energy.
by adding "yang" energy to it.

sprinkle a bit of sea salt(yang) on tomatoes.
this enhances the flavor and sweetness of the vegetable, as well as balancing the energy.
also mix with other yang food, such as wakame sea weed(also yang)

recipe
cut cube organic heirloom tomato(any tomato is good)
sprinlke sea salt.
add wakame seaweed and black sesame.
add ts of umeboshi vinegar or brown rice vinegar (or both) and mix.
serve room temperture.
