About This Spice
The main reason our customers buy dehydrated tomato powder is for use when they need a little more tomato sauce or paste, and don't want to waste a whole can for just a spoonful. Store the tomato seasoning in your refrigerator, where it will last. This is very useful in the off-season, when fresh tomatoes aren't very flavorful. Once you try this dehydrated tomato powder, you will be surprised at how many other uses you will find. If you make your own pasta, tomato seasoning adds a lovely flavor as well as color. Sprinkle it on pizza, bread or salads for flavor enhancement. The powder also can be used to thicken sauces, stews and gumbos.
Unparalleled Taste and Versatility
There's something special about the flavor of tomato powder. It captures the juicy, sun-ripened goodness of fresh tomatoes in a way that canned or bottled tomato products simply can't.
Whether you're concocting a quick pasta sauce, spicing up a homemade pizza, or adding depth to a slow-cooked stew, tomato powder imparts an intense tomato flavor that is both comforting and invigorating. The powder form allows you to control the intensity of the tomato flavor in your dishes, from a subtle hint to a robust punch. It's also a great way to add color to your dishes, with its vibrant, natural red hue.
Not limited to Italian or Mediterranean cuisines, tomato powder is an international culinary star. It can be found in the recipes of several different cultures, from the spicy curries of India to the hearty soups of Eastern Europe. And let's not forget the role it plays in various BBQ rubs and sauces, where it adds a certain depth of flavor and a touch of acidity that balances the sweetness of other ingredients.
Surprisingly Convenient
As a pantry staple, tomato powder's convenience is unbeatable. It's shelf-stable, meaning you don't have to worry about it spoiling like fresh tomatoes. The Spice House jar also takes up less space than canned tomatoes, making it a perfect choice for small kitchens or for those who like to keep their pantry neatly organized. The ease of use is another significant advantage - just add water to bring it back to a paste-like consistency, or use it directly in your dry mixes.
