Garlic & Tomato

Garlic and tomato are common food ingredients. Garlic is a bulb vegetable known for its pungent flavor and aroma, while tomato is a fruit often used as a vegetable in cooking. Both are widely cultivated and used globally.

Garlic and tomato are primarily used to add distinct savory and slightly sweet flavors to a wide variety of dishes. They are foundational ingredients in many cuisines, found in sauces, soups, marinades, seasonings, and prepared meals.

Garlic and tomato are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are common components of a healthy diet, with some research suggesting potential benefits from compounds found in them, such as antioxidants. However, these ingredients are not regulated as additives, and no specific health claims are made by regulatory bodies for their use in packaged foods.
