Tomato sauce is a concentrated product made from fresh tomatoes, with a higher nutritional density—particularly, its lycopene content is 2 to 3 times that of fresh tomatoes. Its key benefits include:

Core Nutritional Ingredients
Lycopene: A potent antioxidant with a free-radical scavenging capacity 100 times that of vitamin E; its absorption rate increases by 3-4 times after heating.
Vitamin C: Approximately 5–23 mg per 100 grams, which promotes iron absorption (can increase it by 2–3 times).
Dietary fiber: Retains some pectin to improve digestive function.
Potassium: Approximately 300 mg per 100 grams, helping to regulate blood pressure.
Main health benefits
Antioxidant and Cancer-Preventive: Lycopene can reduce the risk of prostate cancer, breast cancer, and other types of cancer.
Protects the cardiovascular system: By inhibiting cholesterol oxidation and vascular inflammation, it reduces the risk of atherosclerosis.
Promotes digestion: Organic acids stimulate gastric juice secretion, relieving food stagnation.
Boost Immunity: Vitamin C and Lycopene Synergistically Enhance Resistance
Serving Suggestions
A daily intake of 20–30 grams is recommended; choose products that are low in sodium and contain no added sugars.
Combining tomatoes with healthy fats such as olive oil can enhance the absorption of lycopene.
People with hyperacidity need to control their intake.
