description
The tomato has a high content of bioactive substances with antioxidant action, including lycopene. The bioavailability of the latter, responsible for the red color of the fruit and potential protector against some types of cancer, increases, contrary to what many may think, with cooking (even 2 or 3 times!). One of the many demonstrations of the fact that, even in the food sector, looking for balance (in this case in the consumption of cooked and raw food) is always the best route :)
