Although tomatoes are vegetables, they taste very delicious when eaten raw. Many people also like the "Chinese salad" with diced tomatoes and sugar. From a nutritional point of view, raw food can maximize the intake of vitamin C and vitamin B in tomatoes. However, it should be noted that mature tomatoes must be selected when eaten raw, because no fully mature tomatoes contain solanine, which is easy to cause poisoning.
Stir-fry rich nutrition
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes has become the most popular dish in China because of its simple method and recognized delicacy. In fact, fried tomatoes are not only simple and delicious, but also retain a lot of lycopene, because lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, which can be easily absorbed by the human body only after cooking with oil. And in order to better absorb lycopene, don't remove the tomato skin when cooking!
3 sauce is more nutritious
When making spaghetti, there is a process of boiling tomatoes and mashing them to make sauce. Although this practice is troublesome, it can retain the nutrition of tomatoes to the maximum extent. Because it can retain lycopene in tomatoes like fried tomatoes, and because more tomatoes are needed to make sauce, the lycopene content in sauce is higher than that in fried tomatoes.
