Tomatoes are a good source of nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamins. It is also rich in lycopene which is an antioxidant that can help to reduce risks of heart diseases and cancer. Tomato puree also contains all these nutrients.
Compared to tomato paste, tomato puree is cooked less. This means that it undergoes lesser heat treatment which does not alter the nutrient contents much. This lesser heat exposure also causes tomato puree to have a milder, fresher tomato flavor. Tomato puree is made by lightly cooking and pureeing tomatoes to form thick, rich liquid. This puree is commonly used as a base for tomato-based sauces, soups, salsa, pizzas and more.
