Tomato puree is a rich, concentrated sauce made by cooking and blending ripe tomatoes until smooth. Originating from Italian cuisine, it is widely used in recipes around the world, including soups, stews, pasta sauces, and curries, adding a robust tomato flavor and velvety texture. Pure tomato puree is free from additives and typically contains just tomatoes, water, and occasionally salt. It is a good source of essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, particularly lycopene, which is known for its potential heart health and anti-inflammatory benefits. Additionally, it is low in calories and fat, making it a healthy option for those watching their diet. However, some store-bought options may include added sugars or sodium, so reading nutrition labels is important. Its versatility and nutrient profile make it a staple ingredient for both everyday cooking and gourmet dishes.
