Crushed tomatoes are a versatile and convenient pantry staple, perfect for adding rich tomato flavor and texture to a wide variety of dishes. These tomatoes are typically made from ripe, peeled tomatoes that have been coarsely chopped or crushed, resulting in a chunky, slightly pulpy consistency. They offer a bright, slightly acidic tomato flavor that's less intense than tomato paste but more pronounced than whole peeled tomatoes. Crushed tomatoes often include a small amount of tomato juice or purée to maintain moisture and enhance the overall flavor. They're an excellent base for sauces, soups, and stews, providing a vibrant color and hearty texture.

Unopened crushed tomatoes can be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place like a pantry at room temperature until the expiration date. Once opened, transfer any unused portion to an airtight container and refrigerate promptly. Use within 5-7 days for best quality. For longer storage, crushed tomatoes can be frozen in freezer-safe containers for up to 2-3 months. Allow for headspace in the container as the liquid will expand during freezing.
