Tomato (raw)
Also called: tamatar, tomate, raw tomato, salad tomato
How Tomato (raw) affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Kapha. |
When to go easy
Sour and heating — it aggravates both Vata and Pitta raw, which is why it is traditionally eaten cooked and spiced.
