Signature Select Petite Diced Tomatoes
What it is
These are diced tomatoes that have been preserved in their own juice. They are a convenient pantry staple. The tomatoes are cut into small, uniform pieces, making them easy to incorporate into various dishes. This product offers a way to enjoy the flavor of tomatoes year-round. The canning process helps to maintain the texture and taste of the tomatoes.
How people cook with it
Petite diced tomatoes are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different types of cooking. They add a fresh tomato flavor to 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 the liquid if desired, or include it for extra moisture and flavor. They can be added directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. For baked dishes, they can be mixed with other ingredients before going into the oven. They are also excellent when gently heated and seasoned for a quick side dish or topping. Their small size ensures they distribute evenly throughout any recipe.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole peeled tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes offer a ready-to-use convenience without the need for chopping. Their smaller size also means they break down more easily in dishes, providing a more integrated tomato flavor rather than distinct pieces.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to add tomato flavor to their meals.
