Tomato puree

Tomato puree is a smooth, thick paste made from cooked and strained tomatoes. It comes from the tomato plant, which is a fruit commonly used in cooking to add flavour and richness to dishes.

To make tomato puree, ripe tomatoes are cooked down, skins and seeds are removed, and the remaining pulp is blended into a smooth consistency. It is then often heated briefly to intensify the flavour before being packaged.

You'll find tomato puree listed on food labels for its ability to enhance the taste and colour of various dishes. It adds a deep tomato flavour to pasta sauces, soups, stews, and even pizza toppings. Its concentrated form also helps thicken sauces and provides a convenient way to add the essence of tomatoes to a recipe.
