Tomato puree is a smooth, thick liquid made from cooked, strained tomatoes. It has a velvety texture and concentrated tomato flavor that reduces cleanly without bitterness. Use it to build sauces, soups, and braises, or as a base for stews; sold in cans, cartons, and jars.\n\nModern tomato purée and passata grew from Italian and American canning in the 20th century and spread globally through Mediterranean-influenced cooking. Producers cook or mill ripe processing tomatoes, sieve out skins and seeds, and standardize thickness; some versions include salt.
