Tomato sauce is a versatile staple in many cuisines, most notably Italian, where it serves as a base for dishes like pasta, pizza, and stews. Made primarily from ripe tomatoes, it often includes ingredients like onions, garlic, olive oil, herbs, and spices. Packed with vitamins A and C, tomato sauce is a rich source of antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and may reduce cancer risks. Its low calorie count makes it a diet-friendly option, though variations with added sugar or high salt content can diminish its nutritional benefits. Homemade versions typically offer greater control over these aspects, ensuring a purer, healthier choice. Whether simmered fresh or enjoyed from a jar, tomato sauce’s vibrant flavor and nutrient profile make it a beloved and beneficial addition to countless recipes worldwide.
