Usage Ideas:
Sauces & Pastes: Ideal for making thick, rich tomato sauce, marinara, and tomato paste due to their low water content.
Canning & Preserving: Excellent for canning whole, diced, or crushed because they hold their shape well.
Salsa & Pico de Gallo: Their firm texture and minimal juice make them perfect for fresh, chunky salsas.
Roasting & Drying: Great for roasting to intensify flavor or for making sun-dried (or oven-dried) tomatoes.
Soups: Used as a hearty base for tomato soups.
Bruschetta: Diced finely for topping toasted bread.
