I am also vegan, Hakan, and I have just discovered the nutrient density (especially in regard to lycopene) in tomato paste. I like to dip broccoli in it. A 6oz serving costs less than a pound of tomatoes and has a lot more lycopene. You can check the other nutrients in it (and many more foods) at nutritiondata.com. ----------------- Brad, That is exactly what I do: dip raw broccoli in tomato paste. It makes the broccoli delicious. I eat raw broccoli almost every day like this. I've also found that dipping raw rommaine lettuce, green and red leaf lettuces, cabbages, " spring mix " (baby lettuces, radicchio, argula, baby swiss chard, baby spinach and other baby leaves), and raw spinach in pure tomato paste has the same effect---- makes the leafy vegetables taste fabulous, and makes you want to eat a lot of raw leafy vegetables, which have the highest nutrient density per calorie of all foods groups. rjb112@...
