Organic Tomato Paste

Organic tomato paste is a concentrated form of tomatoes made from organic tomatoes that have been cooked and pureed. The cooking process removes water and intensifies the natural tomato flavor and color. It is a staple ingredient in many kitchens, providing a rich tomato base for various dishes.

Manufacturers use organic tomato paste as a flavor enhancer and thickener in a wide range of food products. Its concentrated tomato taste makes it ideal for sauces, soups, stews, and casseroles. It is commonly found in prepared pasta sauces, pizza sauces, and canned soups.

Organic tomato paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of nutrients like vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products, but specific evaluations for organic tomato paste are not always distinct. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe and contributes to a balanced diet.
