But it has not been the only other study conducted a while back in the U.S., by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), claimed that consumption of gazpacho increases significantly amount of vitamin C in the blood and reduces the molecules associated with stress.<\/p>\n
Gazpacho brings a lot of fiber, from the pepper, cucumber and onion, mostly. This large amount of fiber is responsible according to some scientific studies, their benefits in preventing certain types of cancer, including colon cancer. In addition, lycopene, a carotenoid responsible for the red color of tomatoes, protects against oxidative stress, or what is the same, from the harmful effects exerted by free radicals in the body. The lycopene content is greater the red, ripe tomatoes are, as in the case of those used in the preparation of gazpacho. Cucumber sterols are excellent in reducing cholesterol and vitamins A, B and C help the immune system. If we add the diuretic and purifying action of the onion, which is able to regulate blood sugar levels and strengthen the defenses, and the resulting anti-inflammatory properties of garlic, couldn\u00b4t be better. Last but not least, the contribution of monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil regulate cholesterol levels too.<\/p>\n
Picking ripen full flavor tomates is really important to be successful when we prepare gazpacho because tomato is the main ingredient of the dish. Summer farmers markets offer a great opportunity to find the perfect tomato for our dish. Extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar will guarantee a perfect gazpacho too.<\/p>\n
Therefore, today I want to bring the typical gazpacho recipe that is the summer parties star in Spain<\/p>\n
