What it is

Extra heavy tomato puree is a concentrated form of tomato paste. It is made by cooking down tomatoes to remove most of the water content, resulting in a thicker product than standard tomato paste. It is primarily used to provide a concentrated tomato flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use extra heavy tomato puree to add a rich, concentrated tomato taste and color to foods. Its thick consistency makes it ideal for products where a robust tomato base is desired, such as in dips, salsas, pizza sauces, and frozen entrees.

Health notes

Extra heavy tomato puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of lycopene, an antioxidant. JECFA has evaluated tomato concentrates and found no safety concerns. At typical dietary intakes, it is considered safe.

Allergen info

Extra heavy tomato puree is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
