Some people might not like eating this vegetables raw, because the taste somehow little bit sour. But tomato is one of the main ingredients in some dishes. Though some people might not realise, Tomato originally came from Mexico, and it is spread throughout the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas.

Tomatoes are by far the richest source of a powerful anticancer agent called lycopene. In fact, research has shown lycopene to be an even more powerful disease fighter than vitamin E and beta carotene. Lycopene needs fat for optimal absorption to occur. Therefore, putting the healthy fat olive oil in your spaghetti sauce is an excellent trick to increase your lycopene levels.
