The benefits of sun-dried tomatoes Arepa:

Sun dried tomatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They have a particularly high concentration of Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. There has been a lot of interest in lycopene’s potential benefits as an antioxidant. Some early research shows it may help protect your skin from the sun. Other studies show that lycopene may lower the risk of certain cancers, including esophageal and pancreatic cancer. More research is needed to better understand these potential benefits.
