About Tomato
Tomato is the edible fruit of tomato plants, commonly used at different stages of ripeness. Fresh tomatoes may be eaten whole, sliced, diced, or crushed, and are used in salads, sandwiches, soups, stews, sauces, salsas, and cooked vegetable dishes. This page refers to the general whole ingredient rather than a named variety.
Tomato flesh is juicy and soft, with a thin skin, visible seeds, and a flavour ranging from lightly sweet to tangy and savoury. The sensory character can vary with ripeness and cultivar, but no particular cultivar or ripeness stage is specified for this general identity.
Tomatoes may be sold fresh or as canned, dried, and strained preparations. Cutting exposes the juicy flesh and seeds, while crushing makes the ingredient more fluid. Heating softens the flesh and concentrates its flavour; drying removes moisture, and straining produces a smoother preparation with fewer coarse solids.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Specify fresh tomato variety and edible portion, or identify canned, dried, roasted, puréed, or cooked form. Draining, peeling, concentrating, and adding oil, salt, sugar, herbs, or other ingredients change the product represented.
Compare the right form: Match references to the stated tomato variety and edible form: fresh, canned, dried, roasted, puréed, peeled, drained, or cooked.
Diet considerations
Tomato is a plant-derived fruit. Plain tomato differs from products containing oil, sugar, salt, dairy, meat stock, or cereal ingredients. Portion and accompanying bread, pasta, rice, or other starchy foods shape the dish’s carbohydrate pattern; dried and concentrated forms require their own reference.
