We often prepare salads in which tomatoes are the main ingredient. Fresh vegetables are very tasty and healthy. But they will become even more useful if you first put them out a little in water!

This is because tomatoes contain lycopene. This is a substance that has a powerful antioxidant effect and protects the body from cardiovascular diseases. It is noteworthy that the amount of lycopene in stewed tomatoes is significantly higher. At the same time, it is absorbed faster.

Important!
Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance. In order for it to be fully absorbed by the body, it is better to eat tomatoes with fatty foods. And the best option here is vegetable oils. They are sources of healthy fats and do not "overload" the body with cholesterol. When stewing vegetables, add a little oil to the water - olive oil, for example.
