Nutritional Value

Tomato-based sauces naturally contain carbohydrates, small amounts of plant-based protein, and minimal fat. Tomatoes contribute naturally occurring dietary fiber, along with vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin A. This sauce also contains minerals like potassium that are present in tomatoes and herbs. Its simple formulation allows these naturally occurring nutrients to remain part of everyday meals.

Ways to Use

Organic Basil Tomato Sauce is suitable for a wide range of culinary uses. It can be served with pasta, layered into lasagna or casseroles, or used as a base for pizza and flatbreads. The sauce may also be added to grain dishes, vegetable-based recipes, or simmered with herbs and spices to customize flavor. It works well as a dipping sauce, a topping, or a starting point for homemade recipes.

Storage Recommendations

Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and use within a few days for best taste and texture.

Additional Instructions

For a simple pasta dish, warm the sauce gently over low heat, stirring occasionally. Combine with cooked pasta and finish with herbs or olive oil as desired. The sauce may also be simmered briefly to enhance aroma before serving.
