Sun drying comes from a centuries-old tradition invented as a method of preservation. Made from just select tomatoes, sun and salt this process produces tomatoes with intense red color and crunchy soft pulp that provide a unique tasting experience. Sun dried tomatoes are picked and dried at the peak of ripeness so they have a rich, concentrated tomato flavor. Dried tomatoes, like fresh tomatoes, offer vitamins A and C plus calcium and potassium. Sun dried tomatoes have powerful antioxidants in the vitamin A family such as lycopene, zeaxanthin, and lutein. Zeaxanthin and lutein help protect vision while lycopene is associated with a lower risk of cancer. Just like fresh tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes offer fiber: seven grams of fiber per one cup of sun dried tomatoes.
