Tomato Flakes
Tomato Flakes
Tomato Flakes, Solanum lycopersicum, are naturally dried, dehydrated tomatoes. They are also called dried tomato flakes or dehydrated tomato flakes.
Use Tomato Flakes in place of fresh tomatoes or where you would usually incorporate sundried tomatoes. These shelf-stable flakes can last for up to a year if stored properly, and retain that zingy, summery flavor all year round.
Businesses that frequently purchase Tomato Flakes are:
- independent spice shops;
- olive oil shops;
- seasoning companies; and
- manufacturers of dip mixes, sauces, cheese, keto, paleo, and vegan foods
We also have Tomato Powder available.
Flavor Profile
Tomato Flakes have a concentrated tomato flavor that is sweet, tangy, and slightly acidic.
How To Use
Tomato Flakes are best used these in recipes that have a liquid element. Add early in the cooking process to allow them to rehydrate during cooking. Or rehydrate tomato flakes with hot water, broth, or vegetable juice. Submerge the flakes in soaking liquid and let them sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
We enjoy Tomato Flakes wherever you want a powerful hit of umami tomato, so add them to Greek Lasagna or Chicken and Butternut Squash Pizza. Dress up bagels and sandwiches with this super-satisfying, tomato-laden Garden Cream Cheese spread. Or add depth to vegetarian favorites like Broccoli and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta or Spiced Lentils.
Dried Tomato Flakes add vibrant color and impressive depth of flavor to beans, chicken, cheese, breads, chili, pasta sauces, pizza, soups, stews, vegetable dishes and vinaigrettes.
