Tomato Ketchup

Tomato Ketchup requires 25 tomatoes to fill one bottle. Lycopene, the natural red pigment found in tomatoes, has been linked with a lower risk of prostrate cancer and heart disease. For years, nutritionists have emphasised the benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables. However, lycopene is easier for our bodies to absorb when the tomatoes have been cooked or processed with a little oil into foods such as ketchup or pasta sauce.
