Is It Healthy for everybody?

The tomato is an excellent source of lycopene, which is a type of antioxidant. A single cup of cooked tomatoes contains the same amount of lycopene as 2.5 cups of raw tomatoes. Lycopene helps protect against certain cancers, heart disease, and macular degeneration.

An average person should consume 2 servings (or at least 3 tablespoons) of whole food tomato products per week to get the full benefits of lycopene.

Can I Freeze it?

We recommend that you place it in airtight containers and freeze up to 1 month for longer storage.

Can I make a substitution for any of the ingredients?

Yes, the only ingredient that you can substitute is vegetable oil. You can use other cooking oils like soybean oil, corn oil, or canola oil. If you prefer not to consume any oil at all, vegetable broth or water may be used instead.
