Just Tomatoes, Etc.!

About Just Tomatoes:

Just Tomatoes, Etc.! dehydrated fruits and vegetables are vine-ripened (or tree-ripened), hand-picked at peak condition, washed, cut and then placed in specially designed dehydrators and dried at low temperatures to preserve color, flavor and nutrients. Both dehydrated and freeze-dried products are an excellent source of nutrition.

This line of unique dried fruits and vegetables have been carefully selected and combined for your ultimate enjoyment… as great snacks and terrific ingredients for culinary treats.

You’ve probably seen Just Tomatoes products on shelves at your local grocery store, but you probably didn’t know what a wide range of products this company sells.  I love that the process they use to dehydrate the fruits and vegetables doesn’t require the use of sulfur or preservatives, and I especially love the “crunch” that they have.  Crunchiness makes snacking so much more satisfying!  You can get a wide range of fruits and vegetables, both organic and conventional.  They can all be used for snacking, or for cooking/baking.   Just Tomatoes also carries a new line called Fruit Powders.  They take the non-perfect fruits from the drying process and create powders with them!

Just Tomatoes sent us a few different items to sample, and they were all delicious.  By far my favorite was the Just Pineapple Powder, to my surprise.   At first, I wasn’t sure what I would do with a fruit powder, but after reading some recipe ideas from the website, I started experimenting with putting it on yogurt and adding a little agave nectar.  YUM!  I’ve never had pineapple yogurt before, and it was awesome!  Make sure you keep your unused powders in an airtight container though, because when exposed to air for a while, it will clump up and become a big hard ball.

I never thought about using dehydrated veggies for cooking, and I will definitely be purchasing some soon.  The Just Roasted Garlic, Just Crunchy Onions, and Organic Just Peas all look like so much fun to use in some of my dishes.   Just Tomatoes even has their own cookbooks, gift baskets, and recipe contests!
