Short facts : Highly concentrated tomatoes

Tomato paste is a thick and concentrated form of tomato puree. It is made by cooking tomatoes for a long period of time to reduce them down, resulting in a rich and intense tomato flavour. Tomato paste is commonly used as a base for sauces, soups, stews and other dishes to add depth and richness. It is a versatile ingredient that can be found in both canned and tube packaging.
