Grated tomato is fresh tomato pulp created by grating a ripe tomato, skin-side out, against a box grater or similar tool. This process separates the juicy flesh from the skin, resulting in a flavorful and slightly chunky sauce-like consistency. It boasts a vibrant red color and a sweet, slightly acidic tomato flavor, perfect for adding a fresh tomato taste to dishes without the need for cooking. Grated tomatoes are a versatile ingredient used in many cuisines.

Grated tomatoes are best used immediately for optimal flavor and texture. If you need to store them, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, freezing is an option. Portion the grated tomatoes into freezer-safe bags or containers, leaving some headspace, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using; note that the texture may become softer after thawing.
