Tomato purée (concentrated)
Concentrated tomato purée is tomato cooked and reduced until most of its water has evaporated. This reduction concentrates everything: the flavour, the natural sugars and, above all, the lycopene.

Tips
A misleading density, a tiny serving. 99.2 kcal per 100 g seems high for tomato, but you use a tablespoon, which is 16 g and 16 kcal. Tomato purée never weighs heavily on a dish.
Lycopene is concentrated in it. Cooking and reduction make this carotenoid more available than in raw tomato. A spoonful of purée provides more than a whole tomato.
Check the label. Pure purée contains only tomato. Some preparations add salt and sugar: that is the only thing to look for.
