Premium Dried Tomato Flakes

I love these tomato flakes. So many times I need just a hint of tomato in something. These have great flavor & so convenient.

My major gripe with dry vegetable soup packs like Lipton and Knorr is that they don't have enough vegetables in them. I bought this product to add more tomato to my soup, and boy, does it deliver. Add these additional tomatoes to any soup mix to take your soup to the next level. Warning: as these are dried tomatoes, they are probably not suited to instant soup mixes, like Lipton's Cup-O-Soup. They need more time to rehydrate than Cup-O-Soup provides.

From what I read the ratio is 7 lbs or more fresh for 1 lb of dry. So a medium large tomato fresh of 7 ounce size would be equal to 1 ounce or about 28 grams of dried tomato. Therefore this 16 ounces jar of tomatoes is equal to 16 fresh raw tomatoes. The cost of the fresh tomatoes retail that goes into this product costing $35 for 1 lb jar then is 7 tomatoes x approx $2 per lb for fresh equals $14. So for the same equivalent of fresh tomatoes this cost over 2x what you pay for the fresh. Is that fair? Well, consider that the fancy reusable jar cost about $1.50 bulk plus label and and consider the extra labor and energy to prepare the tomatoes, sort and cut and package into a box which also costs money, and it is a fair price but a lot more expensive than a quality fresh tomato. If you are out camping though or just like the flavor it is not really expensive for a convenient light weight food item. And a tomato has a lot of healthy fiber and vitamins etc. Verdict is these are good product for the money IMHO.

This item is rather expensive but I have been using it as an ingredient twice a week for the last 6 months and I'm almost halfway done. It is it is incredibly pungent and powerful by volume, using a pinch in a creamy sauce to add some tomatoey sweet meaty flavors? Great. Did you use two pinches? Enjoy your tomato sauce.

I thought they were pretty tasteless, but that was my mistake when I put them in a little bit of water and microwave them they puffed up had a nice texture and plenty of flavor

A great product for the money and good! I wish they would include directions for use... i.e. to reconstitue, add so much water or juice and so much tomatos equals a cup of tomatos. Would make it a whole lot easier for soups. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

These are delicious, so flavorful and I’m happy there’s no added salt. I want to buy again and again but the price at $40 is so steep that it’ll have to just be a rare treat.

I've used im several dishes. Once they encounter moisture they are soft
