What it is
Crushed unpeeled tomatoes are whole tomatoes that have been crushed, including the skins and seeds. They are made from ripe tomatoes that are washed, sorted, and then mechanically crushed. The skins and seeds contribute to the texture and flavor of the final product.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use crushed unpeeled tomatoes as a base ingredient in sauces, soups, stews, and casseroles. They provide a rich tomato flavor and a slightly thicker texture compared to strained tomatoes. They are commonly found in Italian-style dishes and Mexican cuisine.
Health notes
Crushed unpeeled tomatoes are considered a whole food and are not typically subject to the same regulatory scrutiny as highly processed additives. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as lycopene. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomatoes and tomato products, generally recognizing them as safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with typical intake.
Allergen info
Tomatoes are not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
