Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Unadulterated Tomato Paste

  • Metabolic Effect: Tomato paste has antioxidant properties due to its lycopene content and supports the immune system. However, some pastes may have high salt content, which can cause water retention.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can use it to add flavor and color to your dishes. However, it is important to use it sparingly, paying attention to the salt content. Especially those with hypertension should be careful.
  • Things to Consider: Some brands' pastes may contain additives, so it is important to choose natural and additive-free ones. One tablespoon of tomato paste is equivalent to about one small tomato.
  • Exercise Equivalent: The calorie of 1 tablespoon of tomato paste is approximately 13 kcal. To burn this calorie, it is enough to do about 3 minutes of light-paced walking.
