Peeled tomatoes (whole)

Description

Peeled tomatoes are whole, canned tomatoes with an intense, deep red color, soft texture, and concentrated sweet-and-sour flavor. With the skin removed, they maintain a smooth texture, easily break down during cooking, and add a natural sweetness and freshness to canned tomato dishes. They are low in calories and a source of vitamins C and K, folic acid, potassium, and lycopene—a powerful antioxidant associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and some cancers. They are perfect for sauces, soups, stews, casseroles, and pizza, serving as a base for braised dishes and canned preserves. An unopened can should be stored in a cool, dry place; once opened, it is best to transfer the contents to a glass or plastic container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days or portion and freeze.
