Nutrient content

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene. The higher the lycopene content in human plasma, the lower the incidence of prostate cancer, lung cancer and coronary heart disease. The content of lycopene is negatively correlated with the content of soluble sugar in tomatoes, that is, the more unsweetened tomatoes are, the higher the lycopene content is.

In addition, the lycopene content in tomatoes produced in summer is relatively high, which is mainly because the abundant sunshine and long illumination time in summer will greatly increase the lycopene content; In winter, tomatoes planted in greenhouses have low lycopene content.

The content of lycopene in yellow varieties of tomatoes is very low. Red varieties of tomatoes have higher content. Generally speaking, the redder the color of tomatoes, the higher the lycopene content, while the lycopene content of immature and semi-mature cyan tomatoes is relatively low, and cooked tomatoes are more conducive to nutrient absorption than raw tomatoes.
