What it is

Tomatoes are fruits that grow on vines. They are native to western South America but are now grown worldwide, including in Italy, where they are a staple of the cuisine. "Italian tomatoes" typically refers to varieties like Roma or San Marzano, often processed into sauces, pastes, or canned products.

Why it's used

Tomatoes are used in a wide variety of foods for their flavor, color, and acidity. They are a base for many sauces, soups, and stews, and can be used fresh or processed in products like ketchup, pasta sauce, and canned tomatoes.

Health notes

Tomatoes are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, particularly lycopene. The FDA considers tomatoes to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Lycopene has been studied for its potential health benefits, though research is ongoing. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomato products in the context of food safety, and no significant health concerns are associated with their typical consumption.

Allergen info

Tomatoes are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
