Resultsshowed that lycopene absorption from the orange tomato sauce was 2.5times higher than that absorbed from the red tomato sauce... "Whilered tomatoes contain far more lycopene than orange tomatoes, most ofit is in a form that the body doesn't absorb well"

I'm not sure precisely what is meant by "sauce" in the English language. I thought

cooked red tomato derivatives, such as the tomate paste I sprinkle on my veggies,

was reasonably absorbed by the body, as opposed to raw (red) tomatoes. // Ulf
