Tomatoes are a familiar food, loved by many people not only for their easy-to-eat flavor, but also for their high nutritional value. Tomatoes can be eaten raw, mixed with salad, cook soup or stir-fried and are delicious.
The fiber in tomatoes can help slow down the emptying of the stomach, thereby slowing the body's absorption of sugar; and lycopene in tomatoes can also help improve blood sugar control by reducing inflammation levels.
However, when stir-frying tomatoes, many people, because they are afraid of the sour taste, add a lot of sugar. In fact, tomatoes already contain natural sugar (fructose). Adding sugar when processed easily increases the amount of sugar intake, which is not beneficial for controlling blood sugar. Therefore, it is best to limit or not add more sugar when stir-frying tomatoes.
In addition, the familiar tomato stir-fried eggs are often overflowed with oil. Usually, the eggs are fried first, then the tomatoes are stir-fried separately with oil before being mixed together. This method causes the oil to be used twice, or even more if the hand cooks too much. Eating fried tomatoes with a lot of oil is not good for health, especially for people who need to control their weight or blood fat.
