Peeled Tomatoes

Peeled tomatoes are whole tomatoes that have had their skins removed. The skins are typically removed by scalding the tomatoes in hot water or steam, which loosens the skin, making it easy to peel off. They are often packed in their own juice or a light tomato puree.

Peeled tomatoes are a versatile ingredient used in a wide variety of dishes. They provide a fresh tomato flavor and texture, and are commonly found in sauces, soups, stews, and as a base for pizzas and pasta dishes.

Peeled tomatoes are considered a whole food and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. They are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants, such as lycopene. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated tomatoes and their components, recognizing their nutritional value. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption of peeled tomatoes.
