Description

Tomatoes are not what they used to be like - how many people have heard this from our relatives?

Constantly hearing this from my Grandad sharing a lovely cheese and tomato cob would always come with the moan and groan, after 30 years I discovered he was right!

When tomatoes are grown hydroponically it blocks the flavour in the fruit, when tomatoes are grown in soil they have that flavour, supermarkets sell hydroponically grown tomatoes making it difficult to taste

Our tomato flakes have been grown in soil in Spain under the sun providing nature a chance to do her magic giving us pure tomato aroma and flavour

Hydrate in warm water and add to any dish, pizza, tomato sauce, tomato soup, the list is endless well maybe not a tomato salad - were good but have our limits

Grown and Ground in Spain

Tomato Flakes - Quick Reference

  • What is it? Dried tomato cut into flakes that retain visible pieces and texture.
  • Flavour Concentrated tomato sweetness and acidity with a savoury dried-fruit depth.
  • Common uses Soups, sauces, breads, pasta, couscous, savoury baking and dry meal mixes.
  • Pairs well with Garlic, onion, basil, oregano, chilli, cheese, olives and peppers.
  • How to use Add directly to dishes with enough liquid to soften, or soak briefly in warm water before use.
  • Compare with More textured than tomato powder and larger than tomato granules.
  • Possible substitute Use tomato granules for smaller pieces or tomato powder for a smooth result.
  • Storage Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

Good to know: The flakes rehydrate as they cook, making them useful when visible tomato pieces are wanted without opening a tin.

    A great kitchen standby and excellent for adding flavour without liquid to dishes.
