Introduction: Red and yellow have always been auspicious colors for the Chinese people, and a common household dish that combines these two colors is a favorite among the "lazy" crowd—this is scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Yang Li, a professor from the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, highly praises this dish, calling it a perfect match in diet.
In an interview with a reporter from Life Times, Yang Li said that scrambled eggs with tomatoes truly "turns the ordinary into the magical." First, eating too many eggs can easily lead to high cholesterol. However, tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which can soften blood vessels and protect the cardiovascular system.

Therefore, when eggs "meet" tomatoes, the drawback of high cholesterol can be avoided. Secondly, tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and carotene. When stir-fried with eggs, they form a perfect combination of plant and animal protein. Finally, tomatoes contain carotene and eggs contain riboflavin. The fusion of these two nutrients can improve eyesight.

"This dish is basically suitable for all populations," Yang Li pointed out. In particular, the following groups should eat this dish more often. People who feel dizzy due to weakness or old age, women during and after their menstrual period, and those with anemia or blood deficiency can all benefit from eating more scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
However, it should be noted that for people with a cold stomach, the tomatoes must be fully cooked when making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Eating them raw is not easy to digest and can cause stomach discomfort.
