Tomato
Our customers use tomatoes because of their versatility, rich flavor, and functional properties in a wide range of products. Tomatoes have a balanced sweet and acidic taste that enhances sauces, soups, juices, and prepared meals, making them a foundational ingredient in many cuisines. They are also rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and the antioxidant lycopene, which supports heart health and wellness marketing claims. Tomatoes are commonly processed into pastes, purees, sauces, and concentrates, which extend shelf life and provide consistency in large-scale manufacturing. Additionally, their natural acidity helps with preservation and flavor balance, while their deep red color improves visual appeal in finished products.
Tomato can be supplied as organic upon request
Botanical: Solanum lycopersicum
