Organic Dried Tomatoes

Organic dried tomatoes are made from ripe tomatoes that have had most of their water removed, either through sun-drying or mechanical dehydration. The 'organic' designation means they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, following USDA National Organic Program standards.

Dried tomatoes are used to intensify the tomato flavor in foods. They add a concentrated, savory taste and chewy texture, often found in salad dressings, sauces, frozen meals, and processed meats like sausages.

Tomatoes and their derivatives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomato products, and they are considered safe when consumed as part of a normal diet. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of dried tomatoes.
