What it is

Crushed tomatoes are made from tomatoes that have been processed and broken down into a coarse pulp. They retain some of the tomato's texture, unlike tomato puree or paste. Crushed tomatoes are a versatile ingredient derived from ripe tomatoes, typically grown for commercial use.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use crushed tomatoes as a base for sauces, soups, stews, and casseroles, adding a rich tomato flavor and texture. They are commonly found in Italian-style dishes, chili, and various savory recipes. Their consistency provides a good balance between the chunkiness of diced tomatoes and the smoothness of pureed tomatoes.

Health notes

Crushed tomatoes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins and antioxidants like lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomatoes and tomato products. At typical consumption levels, they are considered a healthy part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Tomatoes are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
