ChiChiLas Tomato Paste Preparation

ChiChiLas Tomato Paste Preparation involves carefully processing ripe tomatoes to retain their rich nutritional value. This tomato paste is rich in vitamins, including A, B1, B2, C, and E. Additionally, it contains essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. The paste also provides organic acids, dietary fiber, and active substances like thiamine and serotonin. Moreover, it is a great source of lycopene, known for its antioxidant properties.

Preparation

For the production of tomato paste, the ripest tomatoes of a special red variety are carefully selected. First, they are pre-peeled, and then the seeds are removed. Afterward, the tomatoes are boiled, during which the liquid evaporates, and consequently, the concentration of solids increases.

Cooking tomato paste without sugar

Tomato paste has a natural sourness and is highly valued in cooking. In the ChiChiLas Tomato Paste Preparation, to balance the tomato flavor, not only salt but sometimes sugar is added to the paste. However, in this recipe, we suggest using only salt so that the taste of the finished paste remains as close as possible to natural tomatoes. Therefore, for such a preparation, fleshy, dense fruits with thick walls and a minimum amount of juice serve as ideal raw materials.
