Passata is a smooth, uncooked tomato purée made from freshly peeled and strained ripe tomatoes. Originating from Italian cuisine, it serves as a versatile base for sauces, soups, and stews, delivering a rich tomato flavor without added seasonings. Typically composed of just tomatoes and, occasionally, a small amount of salt, passata is free from artificial additives or preservatives in high-quality varieties. Nutritionally, it’s low in fat, calories, and sodium while being a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, which support heart health and may reduce inflammation. However, due to its concentrated nature, passata can be higher in natural sugars compared to fresh tomatoes. For optimal health benefits, choose passata with minimal added ingredients and pair it with lean proteins, whole grains, or vegetables to balance your meal. Its simplicity and nutrient profile make it a staple in wholesome Mediterranean cooking.
