Lycopene & Tomatoes

Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid pigment found in tomato skins and some other red fruit and veg. It is a powerful antioxidant and it's health properties have been widely studied. It is poorly absorbed from raw tomatoes, and processing tomatoes and combining them with oil increase the absorption into the body e.g from tomato paste. Lycopene reduces the oxidation of LDL Cholesterol which causes the furring up of artery walls and leads to heart disease and has also been shown to reduce the incidence of some forms of cancer .
