Diced tomatoes (canned)

Description

Canned diced tomatoes have an intense, sweet-and-sour flavor with distinct umami notes and a soft, juicy texture; the can contains red pieces submerged in aromatic juice, often with a hint of salt or lemon juice. This product is low in calories and is a source of vitamin C, vitamin A (from lycopene), potassium, and fiber, as well as strong antioxidants that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and contribute to protection against chronic diseases. Canned diced tomatoes are perfect as a base for sauces, soups, stews, chili, one-pot dishes, pizza, and pasta sauces, as well as for braising vegetables and meats. They should be stored unopened in a dry, cool place; once opened, they should be transferred to an airtight, non-reactive container and kept in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3–4 days, or they can be portioned and frozen for about 2–3 months.
