What is the correct preparation of Lycopene in tomatoes?
Lycopene is a fat soluble substance. Without fat, it’s impossible for lycopene to be absorbed into our blood stream. Lycopene, in cooked tomatoes, is more readily absorbed. The absorption rate increases by threefold if tomatoes were to be cooked with butter or oil. To ensure you get a good dose of lycopene daily, add lots of tomatoes and pasta sauce onto your spaghetti or pizza. And dont forget the bottle of ketchup. And of course, organic if possible.
