What it is

Sun-dried tomatoes are tomatoes that have been dried by the sun, a process that concentrates their flavor and nutrients. This traditional method, often done in regions with abundant sunshine like California, results in a chewy texture and intense, sweet-tart taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sun-dried tomatoes to add a concentrated tomato flavor and a chewy texture to a variety of foods. They are frequently found in pasta sauces, salad dressings, pestos, seasoned breads, and as a standalone ingredient in dishes like pizzas and appetizers.

Health notes

Sun-dried tomatoes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene. While generally considered healthy, they can be high in sodium if packed in brine. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated tomatoes and their components, but specific evaluations for 'sun-dried tomatoes' as a distinct ingredient are not typically separate from general tomato assessments.

Allergen info

Sun-dried tomatoes are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
