Hunt's No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes
What it is
These are diced tomatoes packed in their own juice. They are a convenient pantry staple made from vine-ripened tomatoes. The "no salt added" designation means they are prepared without any added sodium. This allows for greater control over the final flavor profile in your cooking. They are a versatile ingredient for many different dishes.
How people cook with it
These diced tomatoes are a foundational ingredient for many home-cooked meals. They can be used in both simple and complex recipes.
- Sauces and gravies
- Soups and stews
- Casseroles and bakes
- Salsas and dips
To use, simply open the can and drain if desired, though many recipes call for the juice. They can be added directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. For baked dishes, they can be layered with other ingredients. They are also excellent when gently heated and seasoned to create a quick side dish or topping. Their diced form makes them easy to incorporate into any recipe requiring tomato pieces.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular canned diced tomatoes, these have no salt added. This means they offer a pure tomato flavor without any contributing saltiness. This difference is important for those monitoring sodium intake or for recipes where precise salt control is needed.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile tomato product without added salt will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a separate container. Store the covered container in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining tomatoes within a few days for optimal freshness and flavor.
