What it is
Tomato paste is a concentrated form of tomatoes, made by cooking tomatoes down to remove water and then pureeing them. The 'organic' designation means the tomatoes were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and 'water' indicates it's been diluted to a specific consistency.
Why it's used
Tomato paste is used to add a concentrated tomato flavor and color to foods. It also acts as a thickener in sauces, soups, and stews. It is commonly found in pasta sauces, pizza sauces, ketchup, and canned soups.
Health notes
Tomato paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of nutrients like vitamin C and lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant that has been studied for its potential health benefits, though research is ongoing. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated tomato products, and EFSA has reviewed lycopene. Typical dietary intake is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Tomatoes are botanically fruits and are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Gluten is not present.
