Lycopene as an antioxidant has great power in the fight against free radicals, as well as helping other antioxidants.
The most important sources of lycopene are tomatoes and tomato products. Tomato is essential in terms of lycopene and is the richest source of lycopene in nature. In fact, since the lycopene in the tomato increases as a result of heat treatment, tomato products are even better sources of lycopene than raw tomato itself. Dried apricot, rosehip, pink grapefruit and watermelon also contain lycopene.
