How to Consume Cooked Tomatoes
Many popular dishes already incorporate cooked tomatoes. Pizza, spaghetti and other pasta dishes use cooked tomatoes in the form of sauce. People may find they reap the most health benefits by making their own tomato sauce, but premade options can still work.
Diced tomatoes can be added to an omelet, stir fry or soup. Tomato soup can be served with crackers, croutons, cheese or a sandwich. Soup can be an especially great option during cooler weather.
