"Tinned tomatoes are a staple product, and it's easy to assume that there isn't much difference between the different ones on the supermarket shelves. And if you are using them to make a bolognese sauce or adding them to a stew or curry, are you really going to notice the difference?"
"But not all tinned tomatoes are created equal. What matters is the same as what matters in fresh tomatoes: flavour. And flavour is dependent on variety and growing conditions - tomatoes love sunshine. We tested the tomatoes here with a focus on flavour and richness, as the better the tinned tomato, the better the dish they go into."
Tinned tomatoes are a pantry staple that many shoppers assume are interchangeable on supermarket shelves. Home cooks commonly use them for bolognese, stews and curries and may not expect major differences between brands. Actual quality is driven by flavour, which depends on tomato variety and growing conditions; tomatoes perform best with ample sunshine. Not all canned tomatoes deliver the same flavour or richness. Tests targeted flavour and richness to determine which products most improve cooked dishes. Selecting a richer, more flavourful tinned tomato produces a noticeably better-savored bolognese, stew or curry.
