Production & Sourcing
Sun-dried tomato dices are made by slicing fresh, ripe tomatoes into small pieces. These tomato pieces are then dried under the sun or using specialized dehydrators until most of the moisture is removed, concentrating their flavor and preserving them. Once sufficiently dried, they are cut into uniform diced shapes.

Benefits
Sun-dried tomato dices offer an intense, concentrated tomato flavor. They are slightly sweet, tangy, and often possess a rich umami taste due to the drying process, which enhances their natural flavors.
The texture of sun-dried tomato dices is chewy and somewhat leathery due to the dehydration process. They maintain a firmness while being pliable enough for various culinary applications.
Typically, sun-dried tomato dices showcase a deep red or maroon color, indicating their concentrated and dried state compared to fresh tomatoes.
Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C and vitamin K, along with antioxidants like lycopene. However, their drying process can intensify their sugar content. They’re also a good source of dietary fiber and various minerals, offering nutritional benefits in smaller quantities due to their concentrated nature.
These diced tomatoes are dried to reduce moisture content significantly, allowing for longer shelf life and ease of storage. When rehydrated or used in recipes, they can absorb moisture from other ingredients, acting as a flavorful binder in dishes like sauces, salads, or pasta.
Sun-dried tomato dices exude a robust aroma reminiscent of tomatoes but with intensified sweetness and umami notes due to the dehydration process. This concentrated aroma enhances the overall dish when used in cooking.
The balance in sun-dried tomato dices lies in their concentrated sweetness, acidity, and umami flavors. When used in dishes, they contribute to a well-rounded taste profile, complementing other ingredients like cheeses, herbs, or meats.
Their chewy texture contrasts well with softer components in dishes, adding both a textural and flavor counterpoint. They often bring a concentrated burst of flavor that stands out against milder ingredients.
Sun-dried tomatoes have roots in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italy, where they’ve been traditionally used in various dishes such as pasta, salads, and sauces. They’ve become popular globally and are used in diverse culinary creations worldwide.
Sun-dried tomato dices are often used in vegetarian and vegan diets as a flavor-enhancing ingredient. However, due to their concentrated nature, they can be high in sugars and, in some cases, salt if seasoned. So, individuals on low-sugar or low-sodium diets may need to moderate their intake.

Sun-dried tomato dices can be included in bread recipes, rolls, or savory baked goods, infusing them with a rich tomato flavor and adding visual appeal.
They are used in the production of pre-made meals such as ready-to-eat pasta dishes, couscous mixes, or rice blends, where they enhance the taste and texture of the final product.
Manufacturers incorporate sun-dried tomato dices into dips like hummus, salsa, or cream cheese spreads, elevating their taste and providing a chunky texture.
