What it is

Tomatoes are fruits that grow on vines. They are typically red when ripe, though other colors exist. Tomatoes are processed into sauces by cooking, pureeing, and often adding other ingredients like spices and salt.

Why it's used

Tomato sauce is used to add flavor, moisture, and color to a wide range of dishes. It forms the base for many pasta sauces, pizzas, soups, stews, and casseroles.

Health notes

Tomatoes are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like lycopene. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes tomatoes as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated tomatoes and tomato products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is associated with general health benefits.
