LYCOPENE

Tomatoes are a natural source of the antioxidant 'lycopene', which may help prevent heart disease. According to scientists, more lycopene is absorbed by the body from cooked tomatoes than from fresh tomatoes. 1/2 cup of canned tomatoes delivers more than 3 times the lycopene as found in one medium raw tomato.
