In summer, I especially like to eat tomatoes. I heard online that tomatoes can also be sun-protected. I wonder why tomatoes can be sun-protected?

    In the hot summer, tomato is a better sun protection tool than sunscreen. Because tomatoes are rich in the antioxidant lycopene, daily intake of 15 mg lycopene can reduce the risk factor of sunburn by 40%.
