What it is
Dehydrated tomatoes are tomatoes that have had most of their water content removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are available in various forms, including whole, sliced, or powdered.
Why it's used
Dehydrated tomatoes are used to add a concentrated tomato flavor to foods. They are commonly found in dry soup mixes, sauces, seasonings, and baked goods like crackers. Their intense flavor makes them a versatile ingredient for adding a savory, umami taste.
Health notes
Dehydrated tomatoes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried tomatoes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Tomatoes are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
