What it is
This is a can of diced tomatoes packed in their own juice, with added seasonings. The tomatoes are cut into uniform pieces, making them easy to incorporate into various dishes. The tomato juice helps to keep the diced tomatoes moist and flavorful. The added seasonings provide a base layer of taste that complements the natural tomato flavor. This product is ready to use straight from the can.
How people cook with it
These seasoned diced tomatoes are a versatile ingredient for many home-cooked meals. They add a burst of tomato flavor and texture to both quick weeknight dinners and more involved recipes.
- Sauces and gravies
- Soups and stews
- Casseroles and bakes
- Chili and meat dishes
Simply open the can and drain if desired, or add the entire contents to your recipe. They can be heated directly in a pot or pan as part of a sauce or stew. For casseroles, they can be mixed in with other ingredients before baking. The pre-cut pieces save time on preparation, and the added seasonings mean you might need to adjust your salt and spice levels accordingly. They are a convenient way to add tomato flavor without the need for fresh tomatoes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain diced tomatoes, these come with added seasonings, offering a pre-mixed flavor profile. This can save time on seasoning your dish separately. They are also packed in tomato juice, which contributes to the overall liquid and flavor of the final product, whereas some plain diced tomatoes might be packed in water or brine.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate promptly and use within a few days. This helps to maintain the freshness and prevent spoilage of the remaining tomatoes and their juice.
