What it is
These are whole, ripe tomatoes that have been peeled and packed in their own juice. They are a staple ingredient for many home cooks, offering a convenient way to add the flavor and texture of fresh tomatoes to a wide range of dishes. The organic certification indicates that the tomatoes were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to specific agricultural standards.

To use, simply open the can and drain the juice if desired, or use the juice as part of your recipe for added flavor. You can crush them by hand for a rustic texture, blend them for a smoother sauce, or leave them whole to break down during cooking. They are excellent simmered into pasta sauces, added to chili, or used as a base for braised meats and vegetables. Their natural sweetness and acidity contribute depth to many savory dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to diced or crushed tomatoes, whole peeled tomatoes offer a more intact tomato structure. This allows for greater control over the final texture of your dish, as they break down differently during the cooking process. Their juice is also typically less processed.
