1. Nutrient-rich tomatoes
SunBlush tomatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They contain high levels of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system, supports skin health and supports collagen production. The lycopene content in tomatoes acts as a powerful antioxidant, contributing to heart health and reducing the risk of certain cancers.

2. Olive oil for heart health
The oil used in SunBlush Spaghetti, be it the oil from tomatoes or olive oil, offers numerous health benefits. Olive oil in particular is known for its heart-healthy properties. It contains monounsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Including olive oil in your diet also has anti-inflammatory effects and can improve blood sugar control.

Olives not only add a special flavor to the dish but also provide various health benefits. They are a great source of healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats, which help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Olives are also rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, the phytonutrients in olives have been linked to reduced inflammation and improved digestive health.
