About Tomato products, canned, paste, without salt added (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
This concentrated form of tomatoes is made by cooking down fresh tomatoes to remove most of their water content, resulting in a thick, rich paste. Without added salt, it provides a pure tomato flavor that can be easily incorporated into various dishes. A 100-gram serving contains 82 calories, with 4.3 grams of protein, 18.9 grams of carbohydrates, and 0.5 grams of fat. The 4.1 grams of dietary fiber per serving supports digestive health and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels.
The paste is an excellent source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that becomes more bioavailable when tomatoes are cooked. It's also rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and iron. These nutrients contribute to immune function, skin health, and proper blood circulation. The concentrated nature means a little goes a long way in recipes, making it an efficient way to add both nutrition and flavor to meals.
In the kitchen, this versatile ingredient serves as a base for pasta sauces, soups, and stews. It can be diluted to create tomato sauce or added directly to dishes for depth of flavor. Many home cooks keep it on hand for quick meal preparation, as it stores well and provides consistent results. Its natural acidity helps balance flavors in both cooked and raw preparations, while its thick consistency makes it ideal for thickening sauces and adding body to dishes.
