Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce is a cooked preparation of puréed tomatoes, typically simmered with herbs like basil and oregano to create a versatile base for pasta, pizza, and stews. This sauce provides a concentrated source of lycopene, an antioxidant enhanced by cooking, along with vitamin C and potassium. While naturally low in fat, commercial varieties often contain added sodium, making homemade versions preferable for sodium-conscious diets.
