Tomatoes: Paste

These red paste tomatoes are a San Marzano type, which are known for their meaty flesh with less juice than slicers, making them a great choice for making into tomato sauce. These tomatoes are excellent for bruschetta using bread from Annie’s Bakery. Classic marinara sauce is quick, simple and delicious. During the season don’t even think about purchasing sauce! These tomatoes are perfect for tomato paste, and after making this recipe, you will no longer be wanting to purchase tomato paste. We also love using these tomatoes in salsa roja because they aren’t too juicy.  These tomatoes are perfect for fresh picante sauce , that we love to keep a bowl in the frig, because it is perfect tossed in scrambled eggs, salads, guacamole sauce, quesadillas, burritos, etc.  Some of our favorite summer salads include; cucumber tomato, tomatoes and sweet corn, marinated tomato salad, skillet BLT Panzanella.

Sold by the pound.  Approximately 5 – 8 tomatoes per pound, depending on their size.
