Sun Dried Tomato Powder

Sun-dried tomato powder is made from tomatoes that have been dried in the sun or using food dehydrators. The dried tomatoes are then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the tomato flavor and nutrients.

Sun-dried tomato powder is used to add a concentrated, savory tomato flavor to foods. It is often found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as in sauces, dressings, and marinades. It acts as a flavor enhancer.

Sun-dried tomato powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants found in tomatoes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products, but specific evaluations for sun-dried tomato powder may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
