The tomatoes should be cooked and eaten. Cooked tomatoes have higher nutritional
value.
Tomatoes contain natural lycopene, but the lycopene content of raw tomatoes is not
high.
During the cooking process, the high temperature destroys the cell walls of tomatoes
and releases more lycopene.
Therefore, tomatoes after cooking contain a lot of lycopene.
Lycopene is a strong antioxidant with anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects, which can
effectively delay the body's aging process.
In addition, lycopene can increase the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels,
strengthen the immune system, and is very beneficial to health.
