Furmano's Whole Peeled Tomatoes No Salt Added
What it is
These are whole, ripe tomatoes that have been peeled and packed in their own juice. They are a pantry staple for many home cooks. The tomatoes are firm and hold their shape well, making them suitable for dishes where you want distinct tomato pieces. They are a convenient way to enjoy the flavor of fresh tomatoes year-round. The absence of added salt means you have full control over the seasoning in your cooking.
How people cook with it
Whole peeled tomatoes are a versatile ingredient that can form the base of many savory dishes.
- Sauces for pasta
- Soups and stews
- Chili and casseroles
- Pizza toppings
You can use these tomatoes directly from the can in many recipes. For smoother sauces, you can crush them with your hands or pulse them briefly in a food processor. They are excellent when simmered with aromatics like garlic and onions to build flavor for pasta sauces, stews, or braises. Their natural sweetness and acidity contribute depth to dishes. They can also be added whole to slow-cooked meals, breaking down over time to enrich the liquid.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to diced tomatoes, whole peeled tomatoes retain their shape better during cooking. Crushed tomatoes are already broken down, offering a smoother texture from the start. The no-salt-added variety allows for precise seasoning control, which is beneficial for those managing sodium intake or for recipes requiring specific flavor profiles.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing a wide range of Italian-inspired dishes, comfort foods, and everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused tomatoes to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and use within a few days. Unopened cans can be stored in a cool, dry pantry for an extended period.
