Canned whole peeled tomatoes are ripe tomatoes preserved in their own juice, skinned and left intact. They have bright, tomatoey acidity and break down readily when crushed or simmered. Use them for rustic sauces, soups, braises, and pizza sauces; they typically come packed in juice or puree, sometimes with added salt or basil.

Industrial tomato canning took root in Italy and the United States in the late 19th century and spread globally. Producers favor plum varieties such as Roma and San Marzano, harvested at peak ripeness and processed quickly to lock in flavor.
