Kroger Petite Diced Peeled Tomatoes
What it is
These are small, uniformly cut pieces of tomato that have had their skins removed. They are packed in their own juice, which helps to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. The petite dice size makes them easy to incorporate into various dishes without needing to chop them further. They offer a convenient way to add tomato flavor and body to recipes.
How people cook with it
These tomatoes are a versatile pantry staple, perfect for adding a burst of tomato flavor to many meals.
- Sauces and stews

- Casseroles and bakes
- Dips and spreads
Simply open the can and add the diced tomatoes directly to your cooking. They can be simmered in sauces, added to soups and stews to thicken and flavor, or incorporated into baked dishes like casseroles. The juice they are packed in can also be used to add moisture and tomato essence to your preparations. For a smoother texture, you can blend them slightly after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole peeled tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes offer a more convenient, pre-cut format. They cook down more quickly than larger chunks and distribute more evenly throughout dishes. Their uniform size also contributes to a consistent texture in the final product.
