What are the benefits of eating tomatoes?

What benefits can tomatoes bring to us when we eat them? Let's talk about it below:

First: Cooked tomatoes are more nutritious

Lycopene is a natural pigment in food. It belongs to carotenoid in chemical structure and is a kind of vitamin A. Red fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, watermelons, pink grapes, apricots, etc. are rich in lycopene. In addition, processed tomato products such as tomato juice, tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato salad sauce and tomato soup are all good sources of lycopene.

However, since lycopene is fat-soluble, it must be cooked with oil to be released naturally and to be more effectively absorbed by the human body. Therefore, processed tomato products are more effective than raw tomatoes.

Second: Eating tomatoes raw is good for the intake of vitamin C

Tomatoes are one of the most convenient vegetables. You don't even need to blanch them, just wash them and you can eat them. Tomatoes contain a lot of vitamin C, which will not be destroyed when eaten raw, but will be destroyed when fried. Therefore, people who lack vitamin C should eat them raw.

Third: People with kidney deficiency can eat more tomatoes

If your friends have kidney deficiency, they can eat more tomatoes, which is very good.
