Some people like to remove the skin of tomatoes when they eat them. In fact, the skin of tomatoes is very nutritious. It contains lycopene. Lycopene is the natural substance with the strongest antioxidant capacity discovered so far. It can prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, improve the body's immunity, prevent cancer and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. But lycopene can't be absorbed by human body until it's heated. So when we cook tomatoes, it's better not to remove the skin.

Cooking tips:Good food experience-1. It's better to use North bean curd. Too tender bean curd is fragile and can't be stewed. Boil it in boiling water before burning, so it won't be broken. 2. It is OK to use fresh Lentinus edodes. However, the nutritional value of fresh Lentinus edodes is not as good as dry ones. Dry mushrooms should be soaked in warm water first. 3. You can add some ketchup if you want something strong. 4. Don't cook too dry. It's better to have some soup. It's also delicious to mix rice with soup. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
