To use, simply open the can and drain any excess liquid if desired, though it can often be incorporated into the dish for added flavor and moisture. They can be added directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. For baked dishes, they can be mixed with other ingredients to form a flavorful filling. Their diced form means they integrate well into most recipes, providing bursts of tomato flavor and a pleasant texture without requiring extensive preparation.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a separate airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining diced tomatoes and use them within a few days to ensure freshness. This helps maintain their quality and prevents spoilage.
