After hundreds of research studies on the benefits of tomatoes it is now accepted that Tomato paste has great Health benefits. The secret component responsible for these claims are Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant abundant in red tomatoes and processed tomato products.

• Lycopene is an open-chain unsaturated carotenoid that imparts red colour to tomatoes, guava, rosehip, watermelon and pink grapefruit.
• Lycopene is a proven antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which may damage the body's cells.
• Research shows that lycopene in tomatoes can be absorbed more efficiently by the body if processed into juice, sauce, paste and ketchup.
• Processed tomatoes, like paste,canned or sauce contain even more Lycopene because cooking breaks down cell walls, releasing and concentrating carotenoids.
