What it is

Crushed tomatoes are tomatoes that have been processed to break down their structure, resulting in a thick, pulpy liquid. They are made by cooking and then crushing ripe tomatoes, often with their skins and seeds removed. This process concentrates the tomato flavor and creates a smooth texture.

Why it's used

Crushed tomatoes are used as a base for sauces, soups, and stews, adding a rich tomato flavor and body. They are a common ingredient in pasta sauces, pizza sauces, and chili. Their smooth texture makes them ideal for recipes where a uniform consistency is desired.

Health notes

Crushed tomatoes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Tomatoes are not among the FDA's nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
