Tomato puree

Tomato puree is a concentrated tomato paste. The figures here describe double-concentrated puree with no added salt. It provides carbohydrate, fibre and some protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 13g carbohydrate, 4.7g fibre, 43mg vitamin C and 1257mg potassium.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods and supports normal immune function. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Although this puree has no added salt, it still contains some naturally occurring sodium. Salt content may differ between products, so labels can help when comparing them.
