Nutrient-Rich Tomato Juice to Boost Anti-Cancer Benefits
Maximize Anti-Cancer Properties of Cooked Tomatoes by 200%! A Recipe for Taste and Health
This recipe guides you in making ‘Boiled Tomato Juice,’ designed to maximize the absorption of tomatoes’ abundant antioxidants, especially lycopene, thereby aiding in boosting immunity and providing anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. Lycopene is known for its potent anti-cancer properties, particularly effective in preventing breast and prostate cancer. Cooking tomatoes significantly increases lycopene absorption, allowing for richer nutritional intake. It’s crucial not to add sugar, as the body consumes Vitamin B to digest it, thus reducing the benefits of tomatoes. Gently blanching tomatoes until the skin peels off easily and serving them with olive oil enhances nutrient absorption. Olive oil aids in the absorption of Vitamin A, which is abundant in tomatoes. Incorporate tomatoes, a powerful anti-cancer food, into your diet with this delicious and healthy juice recipe.
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe, fully ripened tomatoes
Additional Ingredients
- Oleocanthal olive oil (extra virgin)
- Parsley flakes (optional)
- Oleocanthal olive oil (extra virgin)
- Parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 2 ripe, fully ripened tomatoes. Make shallow cross-shaped incisions on the bottom of each tomato. These cuts will help you peel the skin easily after blanching.
Step 2
In a pot, add enough water to cover the tomatoes by more than half and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water is rapidly boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the tomatoes. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes. This cooking process helps to release the beneficial compounds within the tomatoes.
Step 3
This is what the tomatoes look like after being boiled for 20 minutes. The skins should be softened and ready to peel off easily.
Step 4
After removing the boiled tomatoes, carefully scoop out about one ladleful of the tomato cooking water (broth) remaining in the pot using a measuring cup or ladle. This water contains dissolved beneficial substances from the tomatoes, enhancing the juice’s flavor and nutritional value.
Step 5
Place the boiled tomatoes and the collected tomato cooking water into a blender. Add a suitable amount of premium ‘Oleocanthal Olive Oil.’ Olive oil assists in the absorption of fat-soluble Vitamin A present in tomatoes, thereby increasing their health benefits.
Step 6
Finally, for added fragrance and visual appeal, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes. Blend all ingredients until smooth to create a nutrient-packed tomato juice. Enjoy your healthy and delicious tomato juice!
