Crushed tomatoes are a versatile product made by cooking and pureeing ripe tomatoes, often blended with tomato juice or pulp for a smooth yet slightly chunky texture. A staple in Italian cuisine, they serve as a base for pasta sauces, soups, and stews, enhancing dishes with their vibrant flavor and natural sweetness. Nutritionally, crushed tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, which may benefit heart health and reduce inflammation. They are naturally low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, making them a healthy choice for most diets. However, canned varieties may contain added salt, so opting for low-sodium or no-salt-added versions is recommended for those monitoring sodium intake. Crushed tomatoes are a convenient and nutritious way to incorporate the wholesome goodness of tomatoes into a wide range of meals.
