Diced Tomato In Puree

Diced tomatoes are pieces of ripe tomatoes, typically peeled and cored, packed in their own juice or tomato puree. They are a common way to preserve the flavor and texture of tomatoes for use throughout the year. The process usually involves washing, dicing, and then canning the tomatoes.

Diced tomatoes in puree are used to add tomato flavor, texture, and moisture to a wide variety of dishes. They are a staple in many recipes, including sauces, soups, stews, chili, and casseroles. Manufacturers use them as a base ingredient or to add a fresh tomato taste and chunky texture.

Tomatoes and tomato products are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants like lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products and their components. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of diced tomatoes.
