What it is
This product consists of diced tomatoes packed in their own juice. The tomatoes are typically firm and hold their shape well. The juice helps to keep them moist and adds a bit of tomato flavor to dishes. It is a convenient way to have diced tomatoes ready for cooking without needing to prepare fresh ones. The canning process preserves the tomatoes for later use.
