What happens when tomato is cooked?

Tomatoes release a cancer-fighting antioxidant when cooked. According to Scientific American, this is because the heat can break down some tougher cell walls in the plant, making it easier for the body to absorb their nutrients. You also don't have to cook the tomatoes yourself to reap their benefits.

Tomatoes release a cancer-fighting antioxidant when cooked.

Raw tomatoes aren't unhealthy, there are just some extra perks with cooked tomatoes. iStock Tomatoes certainly have many health benefits when eaten raw. But if you eat a lot of raw tomatoes, it might be worth giving them some heat every now and then, if only for the sake of variety. According to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, tomatoes release more lycopene (a cancer-fighting antioxidant) when cooked. According to Scientific American, this is because the heat can break down some tougher cell walls in the plant, making it easier for the body to absorb their nutrients. You also don't have to cook the tomatoes yourself to reap their benefits. "When you use canned tomatoes you might absorb more lycopene than when eating them fresh," Taub-Dix told INSIDER. "In addition, it has been said that when you add a bit of oil ([like] add[ing] some olive oil to your tomato sauce) you enhance the absorption of lycopene even further."
