What it is

Coarse ground tomatoes are tomatoes that have been processed to have a chunkier texture than finely pureed or crushed tomatoes. They retain more of the tomato's natural pulp and seeds. They are made by mechanically grinding or chopping whole tomatoes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coarse ground tomatoes to add a fresh, homemade texture and robust tomato flavor to foods. They are commonly found in salsas, pasta sauces, pizza sauces, and other savory dishes where a noticeable tomato presence is desired.

Health notes

Tomatoes are a common food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants like lycopene. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomatoes and tomato products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
