Eat this: Almond

Almonds!

Good fats help increase lycopene absorption. Essential vitamins are activated and absorbed best when eaten with fat.

Vitamins that are considered fat-soluble include A, D, and E. Carrots, broccoli, and peas are all loaded with vitamin A and should be paired with a healthy fat such olive oil, Almond and Avocado.
