Canned tomatoes (diced)

Description

Canned tomatoes (diced) have an intense, slightly tangy flavor with a subtle sweetness and a distinct aroma of cooked tomatoes. They appear as evenly cut, juicy pieces in a bright red color submerged in juice, which soften during cooking and easily blend with other ingredients, giving dishes a rich flavor and appetizing texture. They are low in calories, rich in lycopene—a powerful antioxidant—and provide vitamins C and A, potassium, and fiber, which support heart health, skin, and the immune system. They work well as a base for tomato sauces, soups, stews, chili, one-pot dishes, casseroles, and pizza. Cans should be stored in a dry, cool place; once opened, transfer the tomatoes to an airtight container and use within 3–4 days or freeze for a few months.
