Description

Crushed tomatoes are a versatile and flavorful canned ingredient that can be used to create an array of delicious recipes. These tomatoes have been harvested at their peak ripeness, then peeled and crushed before being can-sealed to preserve their fresh taste. The texture of crushed tomatoes is thick and chunky, with some pieces being larger and more intact, while others are thoroughly crushed, offering a hearty consistency to your dishes. They are a fantastic base for a variety of sauces, soups, chilies, or stews, providing a deep, robust tomato flavor. Crushed tomatoes are slightly less concentrated than tomato paste but denser and less watery than diced or whole tomatoes. They have a naturally sweet yet tangy taste and bring a vibrant, red-orange pop of color to your culinary creations. Elevate your cooking by adding this texture-rich, flavor-packed pantry staple to your recipes.

Grocery Store Location

Crushed tomatoes are typically found in the canned goods aisle of a grocery store. They are usually located with other canned tomato products like tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and whole peeled tomatoes.
