The tomatoes are packed in their own juices, preserving their natural taste and quality. It's a versatile pantry staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
These crushed tomatoes are a foundational ingredient for a wide range of savory recipes. They provide a rich tomato base that can be seasoned to your preference.
- Sauces for pasta
- Soups and stews

To use, simply open the can and add the crushed tomatoes to your cooking. They can be simmered to develop deeper flavors in sauces, or added directly to stews and soups for a quick tomato boost. For a richer taste, you can sauté aromatics like onions and garlic before incorporating the tomatoes. Their texture makes them ideal for dishes where a smooth yet slightly chunky tomato component is desired. Adjust seasonings as needed, especially since no salt was added during processing.
