What it is
Kroger Tomato Sauce is a smooth, cooked purée of tomatoes. It is made from ripe tomatoes that have been cooked down and strained to remove seeds and skins. This process results in a thick, flavorful base that is a staple in many kitchens. It is a versatile ingredient that forms the foundation for a wide variety of dishes. The simple preparation highlights the natural taste of the tomatoes.

To use Kroger Tomato Sauce, simply open the can or jar and add it to your cooking. It can be heated directly or incorporated into recipes as a liquid component. It is excellent for creating a rich marinara for pasta, a hearty base for chili, or a flavorful addition to casseroles. You can also simmer it with herbs and spices to create custom sauces for pizza or meat dishes. Its smooth texture makes it easy to blend into other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike crushed tomatoes, which retain some texture, or tomato paste, which is highly concentrated, this tomato sauce offers a ready-to-use, smooth consistency. It provides a balanced tomato flavor without the intensity of paste or the chunkiness of crushed varieties, making it ideal for smooth sauces and gravies.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused tomato sauce in a sealed container. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness. Unopened cans or jars can be stored in a cool, dry pantry until their expiration date.
