It is not suitable to eat raw, especially for women with spleen and stomach deficiency cold and during menstruation. If tomatoes are only eaten as fruits to supplement vitamin C, or during the summer heat, it is better to eat them raw.

It is not advisable to eat immature green tomatoes as they contain toxic solanine. It is not advisable to heat at high temperatures for a long time, as lycopene is prone to decomposition when exposed to light, heat, and oxygen, and may lose its health benefits.
