Sun-drying is one of the oldest ways to keep tomatoes through the seasons. As the water leaves the fruit, the flavour becomes deeper, sweeter and more intense.

Dried tomatoes are an easy way to bring that concentrated taste to everyday meals. Here is why they deserve a place in your pantry.

1

Concentrated Flavour

Removing the water leaves a rich, tangy-sweet taste, so a few pieces can season a whole dish.

2

Naturally Rich in Lycopene

Tomatoes are known for lycopene, the red pigment that acts as a natural antioxidant. It is found in dried tomatoes too.

3

A Source of Dietary Fibre

Dried tomatoes contain dietary fibre, which supports healthy digestion as part of a balanced diet.

4

Easy to Use

Add them to pasta, salads, sandwiches, rice dishes and chutneys. Soak briefly in warm water or oil if you prefer a softer bite.

How to Use Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Chop a few pieces into salads, pasta or sandwiches, or soak them in warm water for ten minutes and blend into a chutney or sauce.
