What it is

Tomato paste is a concentrated form of tomatoes, made by cooking tomatoes to reduce their water content and then straining out the skins and seeds. It is a thick, rich paste that forms the base for many tomato-based products.

Why it's used

Tomato paste is used as a flavor enhancer and thickener in a wide variety of savory dishes. Its intense tomato flavor and color make it a key ingredient in pasta sauces, soups, stews, ketchup, and chili.

Health notes

Tomato paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of lycopene, an antioxidant. The WHO/IARC has not classified tomato paste specifically, but lycopene has been studied for its potential health benefits. JECFA has evaluated tomato products, including paste, and has not set a numeric acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Tomato paste is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
