    Tomatoes can be eaten raw or cooked. In order to supplement vitamin C, it should be eaten raw, so as not to damage the vitamin by cooking; if you want to supplement lycopene, you should heat cooked food, because in natural tomatoes, the chemical structural formula of lycopene is trans structure, The lycopene in the human body is mostly a suction structure. After cooking and heating, the lycopene in the raw tomato is transformed, and the release amount of lycopene can be increased by 5 times, and the absorption rate is increased.
