Tomatoes are acidic and have the function of protecting vitamin C. They are not easily destroyed during cooking. Among the vitamins contained in tomatoes, vitamin P can protect blood vessels. Vitamin PP can protect skin health, maintain the normal secretion of gastric juice, and promote the formation of red blood cells.
