Short facts : Dried under the sun to remove most of their water content

Sun-dried tomatoes in oil are tomatoes that have been dried under the sun to intensify their flavour and then preserved in oil. The process of sun-drying removes moisture from the tomatoes, resulting in a chewy texture and concentrated taste. When stored in oil, the tomatoes remain moist and are infused with the flavours of the oil they are preserved in, adding richness and depth to dishes. These sun-dried tomatoes can be used in a variety of recipes, such as salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches and dips, to add a burst of umami flavour.
