Onion Tomato

Onion tomato is a food preparation made from cooked onions and tomatoes. It is typically created by simmering chopped onions and tomatoes together, often with added seasonings like salt, pepper, and herbs. This process softens the vegetables and melds their flavors into a savory base.

Onion tomato is used as a flavor base or ingredient in various savory dishes. Manufacturers add it to provide a rich, cooked tomato and onion taste to products like soups, sauces, gravies, and canned goods. It contributes depth of flavor and a slightly sweet, umami profile.

Onion tomato is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants naturally found in onions and tomatoes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar vegetable preparations. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
