My son does not like raw tomatoes by themselves, but he eats them when they are mixed with other ingredients, especially when the tomatoes are cooked. Tomatoes are best eaten cooked in order to benefit from the lycopene as the bioavailability of lycopene is greater in cooked tomatoes than in raw tomatoes. Lycopene found in tomatoes is beneficial to prostate [...]
