Sun Dried Tomato #3: Ultra Finely Diced
Select varieties of Roma-style Tomatoes that have been dried, without any preservatives, with warm air to create a product that has a sweet, fresh tomato flavor. The tomatoes are then transferred into the sun to complete the drying process and intensify the natural flavors. Customers that wish to avoid the presence of sulfites and salt in their products can use this product as an alternative to standard sun dried tomatoes.
A steam treated variety is also available to create a product that is lower in overall microbial load.
