Virginia Green Garden Tomato Paste – 100x50g Packs for Convenient and Flavorful Cooking

Tomato paste is a concentrated tomato product made by cooking tomatoes for a long time to reduce their moisture content. It’s a staple in many kitchens for its rich flavor and versatility. Here are some key points about tomato paste:

1. Uses: Tomato paste is used to add a deep tomato flavor to sauces, soups, stews, and dishes like chili and curry. It’s often a base ingredient for making sauces and can also be used as a thickener.

2. Types: It comes in different forms including canned, jarred, or in tubes. Some varieties might be organic or come with added seasonings.

3. Substitutes: If you don’t have tomato paste, you can use tomato sauce or tomato puree as substitutes, but you may need to cook them down to reduce moisture and concentrate the flavor.

4. Storage: Once opened, tomato paste should be stored in the refrigerator and used within a few weeks. For long-term storage, you can freeze it in small portions.

5. Nutritional Value: It’s a good source of vitamins A and C, and it often contains a good amount of lycopene, an antioxidant.
