Canned crushed tomato is tomato flesh and juice packed in a can with a coarse, pulpy texture and soft pieces. It tastes bright and tangy and breaks down quickly in heat to form a thick, pourable sauce; common can sizes range from 14 to 28 ounces, sometimes with added salt or basil.
Industrial tomato canning expanded in the late 19th and 20th centuries in Italy and the United States. Crushed styles emerged as a middle ground between whole peeled and puree and are now staples in Italian-American cooking and global pantries.
