Tomato Powder

Tomatoes are worth eating primarily because they contain lycopene. It is an organic chemical compound with antioxidant effects. Eating tomatoes clearly reduces the risk of heart attack, improves digestion, strengthens immunity, and also protects against the harmful effects of the sun!

This Tomato Powder is 100% pure and natural, nothing added like salt or citric acid to boost flavour and nothing taken away, selected fresh sun ripened tomatoes are peeled, deseeded, concentrated and air dried.Tomato powder is a incredibly convenient and versatile ingredient to use, it has a sweet concentrated tomato flavour which instantly re-hydrates with water to make a thick paste/puree through to a refreshing juice drink (depending on volume of water diluted with). Make up what you need in seconds, no more opening tins or jars and only using one portion and letting the rest go to waste. Will make a great base for soups, sauces or just to thicken stews, casseroles, curries, bolognaise, chilli con carne or use to flavour burgers, sausages and in bread making to name but a few!
