In fact, fresh red watermelon contains higher levels of lycopene than fresh tomatoes – a 2-cup serving of watermelon contains and average of 18.16 mg and one medium-sized tomato contains 4 mg. Preliminary research with processed tomatoes and tomato products shows that lycopene may provide a preventative effect against certain types of cancer, including esophageal and prostate, as well as against heart disease and stroke.
