The USDA guidelines state that butter should be stored in its original protective wrapping or a âcontainer until ready for use,â and to remove from the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes before use.

A cup of tomato sauce contains a quarter of your recommended daily intake of vitamin A and fulfills half of your daily need for vitamin C. Tomatoes are also naturally rich in the antioxidant lycopene. Depending on how it is prepared, tomato sauce also provides the necessary fiber.
Adding fiber-rich foods like raw tomatoes into your daily diet can help you get enough. A large, 182-gram tomato can contain as much as 2.2 grams of fiber, or about 7.3 percent of the recommended daily allowance of fiber for a healthy adult. This fiber total includes both types of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber. Adequate soluble fiber intake from foods such as tomatoes is linked to a decrease in the risk of several health problems.
