Lycopene Absorption

Most of us have heard of lycopene, the antioxidant found in RED produce. I remember in 2004, I learned in a nutrition course that cooking tomatoes increases the lycopene absorption. That is why heating tomatoes is a good thing.

I cooked a Boca burger the other night and topped it with heated stewed tomatoes and feta (see above pic). I did baked beans and spring mix salad for my sides. Delicious!
