Hunt's Whole Peeled Plum Tomatoes No Salt Added
What it is
These are whole, unpeeled plum tomatoes that have been gently cooked and packed in their own juice. They are a convenient pantry staple for many home cooks. This variety is specifically made without the addition of salt, allowing for greater control over the final flavor of your dishes. The tomatoes are firm and hold their shape well during cooking.
How people cook with it
Whole peeled tomatoes are a versatile ingredient that can form the base of many savory dishes.
- Sauces
- Soups
- Stews
- Casseroles
To use, you can simply open the can and add the tomatoes directly to your cooking pot. For a smoother sauce, you can crush them by hand or use an immersion blender. They are excellent simmered into pasta sauces, added to hearty stews, or incorporated into baked dishes. Their natural sweetness and acidity provide a rich tomato flavor that enhances many recipes. They can also be used in slow cooker meals.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike diced tomatoes, these whole tomatoes retain their shape better, offering a more rustic texture in finished dishes. The absence of added salt means you can season your food precisely to your liking, which is beneficial for those managing sodium intake or for recipes requiring specific flavor profiles.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy preparing Italian-inspired meals or anyone looking for a foundational tomato ingredient will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused tomatoes to a separate airtight container. Store the container in the refrigerator and use the remaining tomatoes within a few days to maintain their freshness and quality. This prevents the tomatoes from absorbing off-flavors from the original can.
