Our Traditional Sun-Dried Tomatoes range from dark red to brownish orange in color. Larger pieces are sometimes a bit crisp along the edges but tend to be dense and chewy unless rehydrated first. Drying tomatoes concentrates their flavor and allows them to be stored for much longer than fresh tomatoes.
These tomatoes have been conveniently diced into a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch dice
The drying process helps our Sun-Dried Tomatoes capture and intensify all the great, summery flavors of fully ripe, fresh tomatoes. Sun-Dried Tomatoes may tend to be slightly sweeter than fresh tomatoes as well.
Suggested Uses:
· Great as a condiment, a base for sauces or even as a colorful, flavorful garnish
· Traditional Sun-Dried Tomatoes also add an intense burst of flavor and a mellow red color when mixed into dough, bread, or crusts
· Easily add to soups, spreads, pizzas or dressings
· Great addition to pasta dishes
· Adds a wonderful flavor to egg dishes.
