What it is
These are ripe tomatoes that have been chopped into uniform pieces. They are packed in their own juice, which helps preserve their fresh flavor and texture.

This product is a convenient way to add a tomato base to many meals without the need for fresh preparation.
How people cook with it

Simply open the can and add the diced tomatoes directly to your cooking. They can be simmered in sauces, added to stews to thicken and add flavor, or incorporated into baked dishes. For soups and chilis, they contribute body and a fresh tomato taste. They can also be drained and used in cold preparations like salsas. The juice can be used as part of the liquid in your recipe or discarded if a thicker consistency is desired.
