Canned Tomatoes

Skipper40 · March 2013

Canned tomatoes are very easy for meals and I like them but....... I noticed the sodium on whole canned tomatoes is through the roof (I assume this sodium is acting as a preservative). If the alternative is whole or diced low sodium canned tomatoes, is there something to be wary of? such as a chemical preservative used with the low sodium canned products?

I would use fresh tomatoes, but I prefer them with the skin removed (for cooking & juicing)

Any thoughts?

I try to avoid canned foods. You can read why here- http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/05/concern-over-canned-foods/index.htm

Look for low sodium versions?

My real advice? Avoid canned foods. Chemicals..

Anyway.. that's your only real option unless you get the tomatoes and peel them yourself

i use Pomi chopped tomatoes that come in a BPA-free package (box). No sodium added. The only ingredient is tomatoes. They are right next to the canned tomatoes where i shop.
