Canned foods like ketchup taste very fresh, so I want to ask if canned tomatoes are more nutritious than fresh tomatoes?

    Canned tomatoes are even more "fresh" than fresh tomatoes. Although we can easily buy "fresh tomatoes" shipped from everywhere, they just look fresh and nutrients are constantly being lost. Because any fruits and vegetables continue to "breathe" after picking, some nutrients will continue to decrease. The whole process of canned tomato from raw material picking to processing is not more than 6 hours. High temperature heat treatment will stop or slow down the chemical reaction of nutrient loss and maintain the freshness and nutrition of food. Therefore, canned tomatoes are fresher than “fresh” tomatoes grown in long-distance transportation or in greenhouses.
