Diced Tomatoes with Roasted Garlic & Onion
What it is
This product contains diced tomatoes that have been combined with the savory flavors of roasted garlic and caramelized onions. The roasting process deepens the natural sweetness of the garlic and onions, creating a more complex and mellow taste compared to raw aromatics. The tomatoes are typically packed in their own juice, ensuring a fresh and vibrant flavor profile that complements the added vegetables.
