What it is

Tomato pulp is made from whole, ripe tomatoes that have been crushed and strained. It includes the tomato's juice and flesh, often with the seeds and skin removed. It is a key ingredient in many tomato-based products.

Why it's used

Tomato pulp is used to add a rich tomato flavor and texture to foods. It acts as a base for sauces, soups, and stews, providing body and a natural red color. It is commonly found in pasta sauces, pizza sauces, ketchup, and canned tomatoes.

Health notes

Tomato pulp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of nutrients like vitamin C and lycopene. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomatoes and tomato products, finding them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests lycopene may have antioxidant properties, but more research is needed to confirm health benefits.
