Previously, when the diet effect of the ingredient "EPA", which is abundant in blue fish, was noticed, there was a time when the boiled mackerel cans disappeared from the product shelves. However, not limited to mackerel, non-oil, light-tasting boiled cans have various health effects compared to eating the ingredients as they are. This time, I would like to introduce Ascom's new book, "Healthy Life of" Boiled Cans "that Strengthen Blood Vessels," which focuses on improving eating habits with boiled cans.

In the same book, "mackerel, salmon, tomato, soybean " is called "boiled canned four heavenly kings", and each nutritional value, recipe, tips for healthy life, etc. are described in detail, but the author closes the tomato can Up.
Tomato cans are made by boiling ripe tomatoes while they are fresh, pouring tomato juice, and heat-sterilizing and processing them. But have you ever opened a can of tomatoes and felt "much redder than raw tomatoes ..."? According to the book, tomatoes for processing are different in variety from those for raw consumption, and a dark type called "red tomato" is used.

Lycopene , which is a red pigment of tomatoes and has an antioxidant effect, is more effective as the color is darker, and glutamic acid, which is also called an umami ingredient, increases as it becomes red and ripe. In other words, it is a tomato can that allows you to take in tomato nutrition more efficiently.

There is no green odor of tomatoes, and the refreshing, sweet and sour taste is very addictive. Agar has a slightly harder texture than gelatin, but the effect of tomato puree makes it soft and rich in the mouth. I made it myself, but even if it is said that I bought it in the basement of the department store, there is even a sense of luxury that I can believe.
