Tomato paste is a condiment and dressing made from cooked and strained tomatoes. It is a thick, concentrated form of tomato puree, usually sold in cans or jars. It is used as a base for sauces, soups, stews, and other dishes. It is also used as a condiment, either alone or mixed with other ingredients such as herbs, spices, and garlic. Tomato paste is a key ingredient in many Italian dishes, such as pizza and pasta sauces. It is also used in Mexican and Indian cuisine. Tomato paste is made by cooking tomatoes for several hours to reduce the water content and concentrate the flavor. The cooked tomatoes are then strained to remove the seeds and skin, and the remaining pulp is cooked again until it reaches the desired consistency. The paste is then canned or jarred and can be stored for up to a year. Some companies in the tomato paste market include Hunt's, Del Monte, Muir Glen, and Contadina. Show Less Read more
