Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, lycopene, and vitamin A. Cooking tomatoes and adding a bit of extra virgin olive oil helps to boost the bioavailability of lycopene, a powerful, fat soluble antioxidant. Researchers believe lycopene helps to protect against prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease as well as preventing sunburn and wrinkles.
Aside from the fact that tomatoes have lycopene, this is also a good source of vitamin C which protects our lungs from pollution. Tomatoes are packed with a lot of health benefits.
