Tomatoes: Raw vs. Cooked

Which is better? It actually depends on what you need:

1. Cooked tomatoes are packed with more lycopene – an antioxidant known to reduce the risk of cancer and heart attacks.

2. Raw tomatoes retain more Vitamin C – an immunity booster, and an essential nutrient for tissue growth and repair. Tomatoes lose 10% of their Vitamin C content with just 2 minutes of cooking!

Have it both ways, our signature Heart Tomatoes are great to eat raw in salads, or baked/sauteed with pasta and more!
