In an experiment, US experts used normal water or seawater diluted about 12% to irrigate tomatoes.

Experts found that diluted seawater helped increase levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, dihydrolipoic acid and chlorogenic acid in tomatoes.

These substances are antioxidants that prevent heart disease, cancer, anti-aging and many other symptoms.

This finding, published in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, offers promise not only for health issues but also for solving water shortages in some regions. gender.
