What it is

Tomato puree is made from tomatoes that have been cooked, strained, and sometimes concentrated. The process removes seeds and skins, resulting in a smooth, thick liquid. It forms the base for many tomato-based products.

Manufacturers use tomato puree as a base ingredient for sauces, soups, and dips, providing a rich tomato flavor and color. Its thick consistency also helps to add body and texture to these foods. It is commonly found in pasta sauces, ketchup, and chili.

Health notes

Tomato puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of vitamins and antioxidants, such as lycopene. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming tomato puree in typical amounts.
