Organic Tomato Passata

Organic tomato passata is a smooth, thick puree of ripe, organic tomatoes. It is made by cooking, straining, and pureeing tomatoes, often with a touch of salt and citric acid for preservation and flavor enhancement. The organic certification means the tomatoes were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Passata is frequently used as a base for sauces, soups, and stews, providing a rich tomato flavor and smooth texture. Manufacturers use it in products like pasta sauces, pizza sauces, and canned soups. Its thick consistency also helps to thicken dishes naturally.

Tomato passata is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of lycopene, an antioxidant, and vitamins like C and K. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
