Peeled Plum Tomato Puree

Peeled plum tomato puree is made from ripe plum tomatoes that have been peeled, processed, and pureed. The tomatoes are typically cooked briefly to soften them before being pureed. This process creates a smooth, concentrated tomato base.

Manufacturers use peeled plum tomato puree as a base for sauces, soups, and other tomato-based products. Its concentrated flavor and smooth texture make it ideal for prepared pasta sauces, pizza sauces, and canned tomato dishes. It provides a rich tomato taste and color without the need for added sweeteners or preservatives.

Peeled plum tomato puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Tomatoes are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants like lycopene. While generally considered healthy, the FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for tomato puree itself. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various tomato products and their components, generally finding them safe for consumption within typical dietary patterns.
