Tangerine Tomatoes?
ScienceDaily: Unique Tomatoes Tops In Disease-fighting Antioxidants
Deep red tomatoes get their rich color from lycopene, a disease-fighting antioxidant. A new study, however, suggests that a special variety of orange-colored tomatoes provide a different form of lycopene, one that our bodies may more readily use.
Researchers found that eating spaghetti covered in sauce made from these orange tomatoes, called Tangerine tomatoes, caused a noticeable boost in this form of lycopene in participants’ blood.
Additional colors also make the meal look and taste better.
