How can lycopene not be lost?

Male  4 years old 2018-06-09
I want to make tomatoes for my children every day because I heard that tomatoes contain lycopene, but recently I heard that lycopene will be lost due to unreasonable heating. What should I do to avoid it?

    Lycopene is a type of vitamin. Lycopene has many benefits for human health. Cooked tomatoes are easier to absorb lycopene than raw foods, because lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, it is more easily absorbed by the human body when heated with oil. Here, we also remind you that the heating time of tomatoes should not be too long, preferably not more than 30 minutes. Because the heating time is too long, the lycopene in tomatoes will be automatically broken down. In addition, want to take more lycopene. It is best to eat more processed tomato food.
