Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto : Secret to Elevating Any Dish

Описание: Our delicious Sun-dried Tomatoes have been prepared from ripe tomatoes, which have spent a good amount of time basking in the blazing sunshine.

Post this process, the tomato fruits lose their moisture but maintain their nutritional value.

During cooking, the natural levels of lycopene (an antioxidant) in tomatoes rise.

The sun's natural heat does the same by sun-drying them, and these Sun-Dried Tomatoes have 12 times the antioxidants as raw tomatoes!

They also absolutely burst with flavour in their sun-dried state. The tomato fruits lose their moisture but maintain their nutritional value.

Here are some Health Benefits of sun-dried tomatoes

Support Immune System

Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in vitamin C.

While there isn't a cure for the common cold, there is evidence it may help with preventing some complications caused by a cold.

This includes complications caused by pneumonia and lung infections.

Aid in Digestion

100 grams of sun-dried dehydrated tomatoes have more than 40% of the daily recommended intake of dietary fibre.

While both soluble and insoluble fibres are present in sun-dried tomatoes, the majority are insoluble.

Thus sun-dried tomatoes can be a good choice in aiding constipation.

Heart Health

Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in calcium and magnesium as well, which helps in keeping the heart healthy.

Calcium stimulates heart muscle contraction while magnesium helps the relaxation of the heart muscles.

Both of these minerals regulate blood pressure and coordinate the regular contraction and relaxation of blood vessels in the heart.
