Besides being a staple, tomato provide a cancer fighting benefit, available to us only through food. Apart from giving taste, it also gives the body a powerful antioxidant lypocine that helps protected against free radicals that can damage the body’s cells.
Cooking and processing of tomatoes makes their contents more readily available to the body. So there is an added benefit of eating processed food like soup, sauce and juices.
I really like tomato. Do you.

I totally agree with you that medically point of view, tomatoes do provide radicals and help prevention in human body's cell damage. In older pre-historic days, tomatoes were treated as fruits by human beings but nowadats it is used as vegetable and more else you can say it is used while cooking or in salads.

I am absolutely agree with you!
Apart from taste, tomatoes benifit us a lot more than other fruits.As you said from theoretical logic and medical knowledge, cooked and processed tomatoes bring us more nutrition available. It is the tomato season. So let eat it everyday. Good luck!

exactly,I quite agree with you!!Tomato and all tomato processed products is very good to human's health, such as tomato paste,sauce,puree etc., the lycopene contained can reduce the rate of cancer.
very fortunately,our company manufacture and export tomato paste to all over the world, so i am very happy to deal with this line of product. And sometimes, i can taste that delious food. :)

I love tomatoes. When I was a kid we had a bunch of tomato plants in the garden, so we had slices of fresh tomato with dinner every night. It was so good. We'd eat it plain or top it with a little ground cinnamon. I also love to sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper. Tomato also makes a good sandwich perfect.
