Nutritional values
People who enjoy tomatoes every day can reduce their risk of stroke: according to a Finnish study, the lycopene in the fruit vegetable is responsible for this. Carrots supply the body with beta-carotene, which, like the lycopene from tomatoes, acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from free radical damage.
Even though the preparation of the delicious tomato-carrot sauce does not take much time, it is worth cooking a larger quantity and freezing the rest. So you always have a small stock for more stressful times.
