Polpa de Tomate, commonly known as tomato pulp, is a versatile ingredient widely used in Mediterranean, Latin American, and global cuisines. Made from ripe tomatoes, it typically contains nothing more than tomatoes that have been peeled, deseeded, and pureed or crushed, offering a rich, natural flavor base for sauces, soups, and stews. It is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants such as lycopene, which has been linked to heart health and reduced inflammation. Polpa de Tomate is naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice, though some packaged versions may contain added salt or preservatives, which can affect sodium content. For the healthiest option, opt for fresh or minimally processed versions. Its vibrant flavor and nutritional profile make tomato pulp an indispensable staple for wholesome and flavorful cooking.
