Sun Dried Tomatoes



Health Tips
Eating tomatoes, ketchup, tomato sauce and tomato paste-topped pizza more than two times a week can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 21 to 43 percent according to Dr. Edward Giovannucci of the Harvard University School of Public Health.
Men who eat two or more servings of tomato products average a 35 percent reduction in prostate cancer risk.
The best food sources of lypocene according to the Tomato Research Council in New York City: (Amount of lypocene in one ounce) Tomato Sauce, Spaghetti Sauce, Ketchup (5 mg); Tomato Soup, Canned Tomatoes, Tomato Juice, Vegetable Juice (3 mg); Minestrone Soup, Vegetable Soup, Pink Grapefruit (1 mg).
Tomatoes are high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium and Potassium.
Lycopene occurs in only a few foods besides tomatoes and since you absorb more lycopene when you eat a little fat with your tomato some olive oil or cheese isn’t such a bad thing after all.
A good source of vitamin C, especially fresh tomatoes. Latest news: yes, tomatoes offer vitamin C, and a lot else besides. It turns out that they are rich in important carotenoids, including lycopene—a relative of the more celebrated beta carotene. Lycopene appears to help prevent prostate cancer.
Should Women Eat Lycopene Products Too? Doctors and scientists now encourage men to eat a lot of tomato products because they are rich in lycopene, which seems to lower the risk of prostate cancer. But can lycopene help prevent cancer in women, too? A few studies have found that in postmenopausal women, high blood levels of lycopene are associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. But at this point nobody can say that eating tomatoes will reduce your risk. More than one study has found that women who consume the most lycopene are less likely to have precancerous cervical cells. Despite the unknowns, women should treat themselves to lycopene-rich foods?particularly tomato products.
If you suffer from skin disease, a tomato a day may keep the doctor away, as tomatine, tomato’s principle alkaloid, concentrated in its branchy leaves and green fruit, heals certain fungous diseases of the skin.

Love it! We make creamy smoked salmon and sundried tomato pasta. Quick, easy, and delicious.Sherry, Christiansted, VI
These sun-dried tomatoes are another of my pantry staples, along with the radiatori, also replenished in this order. I slice or chop them into pasta, eggs, tuna salads, and just about anything I can think of. I keep them in the fridge, where they stay moist and fresh for a long time.R, Brighton, MA
