Why this product
This recipe is a rich source of lycopene, which is an antioxidant found in tomatoes that protects against certain types of cancers. Heating tomaotes increases the availability of lycopene, as does consuming a source of fat at the same time as consuming the tomatoes. Both are applicable to this recipe!
