Nutrients and Antioxidants

Eden Crushed Tomatoes with Onion, Garlic & Sweet Basil contain lycopene, perhaps the most effective antioxidant. Cooked tomatoes are the best source of lycopene. Over 600 carotenoid plant pigments are antioxidants. Red lycopene out paces them all in antioxidant ability. Cooked, heirloom and cherry tomatoes are highest in lycopene, and organic are even higher. Cooking them like these with a bit Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil increases lycopene absorption. Although lycopene is beneficial, it's not just lycopene that makes tomatoes healthy. Lycopene works with other phytonutrients and vitamins making it much more effective than isolated lycopene supplements. John Erdman, professor of food science and human nutrition and of internal medicine at the University of Illinois said, It has been unclear whether lycopene itself is protective. We believe people should consume whole tomato products in pastas, salads, in tomato juice, and even on pizza."

Commercial tomatoes are chemically force ripened. Lye or other caustic solutions loosen skins for peeling. They are dosed with refined salt, refined sugar, GMO derived citric acid, and preservatives. Even most organic brands use citric acid, calcium chloride, and other processing aids. Eden Crushed Tomatoes with onion, garlic, and sweet basil are made without processing aids or untoward additives - all ingredients are declared. Eden is the best value.
