Sun Dried Tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes are tomatoes that have generally lost 82-90+% of their original weight through the process of drying.

They lose most of their water but retain their sugar, sweetness, and nutrients and what you’re left with is the deliciously dried tomato flesh with an absolutely incredible and intense, concentrated tomato flavour.

Sun-Dried Tomatoes Uses:

Salads and Sandwiches - Sundried tomatoes can be used in salads, sandwiches, pasta and countless other dishes where you desire a punch of intense tomato flavour. 

Tomato Powder - Puree dried tomatoes into a powder and stored in a jar. Use it to boost tomato flavour similar to tomato paste.
