One easy trick? Dole Tomato Sauce. If you want to showcase your culinary prowess through that hearty Italian meal, you instantly have the special ingredient for the pizza and pasta combo.
The flavorful taste of cooked tomatoes, blended with fine herbs and spices, might make your date think that you’re a pro. The sun-ripened goodness goes with almost everything so regardless of the food preferences of your date, whether he’s a vegetarian, pescetarian, a meat-lover or a pizza worshipper, you’ve found a sure way to tickle his taste buds.
Dole Tomato Sauce is rich in vitamin A, C and K to help prevent poor eyesight, harmful oxidation of cells and bone problems. A pack contains cooked tomatoes that have five times more lycopene, a pigment not only responsible for color but also fights symptoms of lung and colon cancer, cardio-vascular diseases and diabetes. Also, a research at the University of Manchester discovered that lycopene provides 33 percent more protection against sunburn, protecting the skin and preventing it from easy aging. Yet another study in Harvard suggested that lycopene reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men and that those who showed higher lycopene content were less prone to suffering heart attacks.
