Production & Sourcing
Sun-dried tomato powder is crafted by first selecting ripe tomatoes, typically Roma or plum varieties, known for their robust flavor. The tomatoes are meticulously washed, sliced, and deseeded before undergoing the drying process. They’re then laid out in the sun or dried using dehydrators, slowly removing moisture until they reach a crisp, dehydrated state. Once dried, the tomatoes are ground into a fine powder, resulting in a concentrated form packed with the intense flavor and aroma of sun-ripened tomatoes.
