Sun-dried tomatoes have the same nutritional value as fresh, that is, they are rich in antioxidants, mainly lycopene, and vitamin K (strong bones, skin elasticity, arthritis, wrinkles) and vitamin C redox system, involved in proper cell function). It is one of the richest sources of iron, as a cup of dried tomatoes will give you 4.9 mg of iron (27% of the recommended daily dose), while one piece only contains 0.2 mg, that is 1% of the recommended daily dose.

Lycopene, in addition to its anti-cancer activity, has been found to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and has been associated with a reduced risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. New studies also show a positive effect on the immune system.
The absorption and concentration of lycopene appears to be higher when the tomato is cooked, so eating tomato sauce or tomato sauce is advisable.
