Hunts Diced Organic Petite Tomatoes
What it is
These are petite diced tomatoes that have been grown organically. They are packed in their own juice, which helps to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. The tomatoes are a vibrant red color and have a slightly sweet and tangy taste. They are a convenient way to add the taste of fresh tomatoes to many dishes without the need for chopping or peeling.

You can use these diced tomatoes directly from the can in most recipes. For soups, stews, and sauces, simply add them along with their juice to the pot. They can be simmered to meld their flavors with other ingredients. In casseroles, they can be layered or mixed in before baking. For quick salsas, they can be drained and combined with other fresh ingredients. Their petite size means they distribute evenly throughout dishes, providing bursts of tomato flavor in every bite.

Compared to regular diced tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes are cut into smaller pieces, which allows them to cook down more quickly and integrate seamlessly into sauces and stews. The organic certification indicates they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, appealing to those seeking organic produce.

Once opened, transfer any unused portion of the diced tomatoes to a separate, airtight container. Refrigerate this container promptly. It is best to consume the remaining tomatoes within a few days to maintain their quality and freshness.
