Sun-dried tomatoes are a flavorful ingredient that originated in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian. Made by dehydrating ripe tomatoes under the sun or in an oven, they retain the intense sweetness and tangy richness of fresh tomatoes. Packed with nutrients, sun-dried tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, potassium, iron, and antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and has anti-inflammatory properties. They are low in fat and calories, making them suitable for most diets, but their sodium content can be high due to preservation methods involving salt or oil. Often sold dry or preserved in olive oil, they add depth to salads, pasta, pizzas, and sauces. While they are nutrient-dense, moderation is key to managing the salt and caloric intake when used in recipes.
