Eden Organic Crushed Tomatoes
What it is
Eden Organic Crushed Tomatoes are made from whole, ripe, organic tomatoes that have been crushed. They are packed in their own juice, with no added salt or preservatives. This product is a staple for many home cooks, providing a convenient way to add the flavor of fresh tomatoes to a wide variety of dishes. The crushing process breaks down the tomatoes, releasing their juices and creating a texture that blends easily into sauces and stews.
How people cook with it
These crushed tomatoes are a versatile base for many savory preparations.
- Sauces for pasta
- Soups and stews
- Chili bases
- Pizza toppings
Eden Organic Crushed Tomatoes can be used directly from the can in most recipes. They are excellent for building the foundation of a quick weeknight pasta sauce, simmered with aromatics like garlic and onions. They also work well in slow-cooked dishes, contributing moisture and tomato flavor to braises and stews. For a smoother sauce, you can blend them further. They are also a good addition to marinades or as a base for homemade ketchup.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole peeled tomatoes, crushed tomatoes have a more broken-down texture, which means they cook down faster and integrate more smoothly into sauces. They are also distinct from tomato puree, which is typically smoother and more concentrated. The organic nature of these tomatoes ensures they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and high-quality tomato product for everyday cooking.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of Eden Organic Crushed Tomatoes in a covered container. It is best to use the leftover tomatoes within a few days to maintain their freshness and flavor. Proper storage helps prevent spoilage and keeps the tomatoes ready for your next culinary creation.
