Tomato Paste

Tomato Paste

Everyday

Tomato paste is a thick, intensely flavored concentrate made by slowly cooking tomatoes to remove moisture and reduce them to a dense consistency. This process amplifies their natural umami and sweetness while concentrating nutrients like lycopene, a potent antioxidant linked to heart health. Widely used as a flavor foundation in sauces, soups, and stews, it provides rich tomato essence in small quantities and is available in shelf-stable cans or resealable tubes for portion control.
