Tomatoes are full of health-promoting nutrients including minerals, vitamins C and E, β-carotene, lutein and flavonoids such as quercetin[1]. It is an excellent source of the antioxidant lycopene (the red pigment in tomatoes) and studies have shown that tomato consumption is associated with a decreased risk of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and prostate cancer, and cardiovascular diseases[2]. Certain variants such as the San Manzano tomato and cherry tomatoes are particularly high in lycopene[3].
Nothing beats fresh sun ripened tomatoes but cooking actually increases the bioavailability of lycopene. Keep the skins on as these are full of lycopene
