Further Information

Tomato pulp is a food product made from healthy, ripe tomatoes, peeled and partially deseeded, then diced and immersed in tomato juice. It is a middle ground between peeled tomatoes and tomato purée, maintaining recognizable chunks and a more rustic texture, ideal for sauces and recipes that require a hearty consistency.

Main Features

• Tomato Pieces: The distinctive feature is the presence of tomato chunks of varying sizes, making the pulp recognizable.
• Tomato Juice: Immersed in a thick tomato sauce that preserves its fragrance and fresh taste.
• Texture: Unlike smooth purée, the pulp has a more fibrous and rustic texture, thanks to the vegetable fragments.
• Taste: It has a fresh, slightly acidic flavor, with a strong taste of fresh tomatoes.

Differences from Other Products

• Pulp vs. Purée: Purée is a smooth and homogeneous liquid, while pulp contains tomato chunks.
• Pulp vs. Peeled Tomatoes: Peeled tomatoes are whole or halved, while pulp is already diced into small pieces.
