Powdered vitamin tomato: bold tomato flavor that keeps for years

Tomatoes carry a lot of dinners. Pasta sauce, soup, chili, ketchup. The problem is that fresh tomatoes go soft in a week, and the canned ones often come with more sodium and preservatives than you asked for. So here's the trade I've come to like. You can keep the taste of a couple of ripe tomatoes in a shelf-stable powder, and get a full run of nutrients along with it.

That's Powdered Vitamin Tomato. It brings real tomato flavor to the table on a Tuesday night, and it's still there a decade from now if you need it to be.

What's in a scoop

This is more than freeze dried tomato. It's built to carry all 40 essential nutrients your body needs. Each serving gives you 5g of protein, 6g of fiber, and 798mg of Omega-3s. No added sugar, and no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or sweeteners.

Each serving works out to about 2.1 fresh tomatoes, fortified with a full spread of vitamins and minerals:

• Vitamins A, C, and E for immune support.
• Vitamin D and calcium for strong bones.
• Iron and B vitamins for steady energy.
• Other key nutrients like potassium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.

Two formats for the shelf

It comes two ways, depending on how you store food:

• The #10 can holds 30 servings with a 25-year shelf life. This is the one for deep storage.
• The resealable pouch also holds 30 servings, with a 15-year shelf life. Easier to reach for on a weeknight.

Once you open a package, use it up within a year for the best flavor.

How to mix it

Mixing takes a minute. Add ⅓ cup of powder to ½ cup of water and stir until smooth. A spoon, a fork, or a milk frother all work. You set the thickness yourself. Less water gives you a rich paste. More water gives you a soup base.

From there it goes a lot of places:

• Pasta sauce, like the one in our pantry-perfect spaghetti and meatballs.
• Soups and stews.
• Ketchup or a batch of barbecue sauce.
• A base for juice or drinks, like our nutrient-dense Bloody Mary.

What customers say

People have found their own uses for it.

• Sandra put it to work all over the kitchen: "This tomato powder has so many uses! I add it to soups, stews, meatloaf, as well as reconstituting it for sauces. The pantry size bags are perfect for ease of use and storage. Try it! You'll like it!"
• John kept it simple: "I mixed some tomato powder and some potato powder in some chicken ramon and it tasted great!"
• Jan liked the value: "This is a great product at a great price."

The short version

Powdered Vitamin Tomato gives you honest tomato flavor with a nutrient profile most tomato products don't come close to, and it sits on the shelf for years. Keep a can back for storage and a pouch out for cooking. That's the whole idea.
