Furmano's Petite Diced Tomatoes
What it is
These are small, uniformly cut pieces of ripe tomatoes packed in their own juice. The petite dice size makes them easy to incorporate into various dishes without needing to chop them further. They offer a bright, fresh tomato flavor that is a staple in many kitchens. The canning process helps preserve their taste and texture for later use.
How people cook with it
Petite diced tomatoes are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of savory recipes. Their convenient size means they are ready to go straight from the can.
- Sauces and stews
- Soups and chilis
- Casseroles and bakes

You can add these petite diced tomatoes directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. They break down slightly during cooking, contributing liquid and tomato flavor to the dish. For baked dishes or casseroles, they can be layered in or mixed with other ingredients. They are also suitable for quick preparations like homemade salsa, where their texture is a key component. Their small size ensures they distribute evenly throughout your cooking.
