About Tomato Puree

Tomato purée is a smooth processed tomato ingredient made by blending, pressing, or sieving tomatoes into a pourable to moderately thick preparation. It is used in sauces, soups, stews, braises, and other cooked dishes.

It generally has a softer texture and less concentrated flavour than tomato paste, although consistency and cooking vary by product and region. Its flavour and body may be altered by further cooking or reduction.

Tomato purée may be packaged plain or seasoned and sold in cans, cartons, jars, or other containers. It can be used directly or cooked further; reduction makes it thicker and more concentrated.

Portions & preparation

Identify whether the purée is smooth and strained or a less-refined crushed preparation before using a reference. Preparation and portion should reflect any dilution or reduction. Check for added salt, oil, sugar, herbs, or other vegetables, especially in packaged versions.

Compare the right form: Match a reference to smooth processed tomato purée, specifying strained or unstrained texture and any included seasoning or added ingredients.

Diet considerations

A plain tomato purée is plant-derived, but packaged and cooked recipes vary. Check for butter, cream, stock, meat, cheese, sugar, or cereal thickeners. The accompanying dish matters: serving it with pasta, bread, or grains creates a different carbohydrate pattern than using it as a small sauce component.
