Premium Dried Tomato Flakes by It's Delish – 16 OZ Jumbo Reusable Container – Dried Natural Tomatoes Ready to Cook – Dehydrated Tomato Vegetable Flakes – Great for Home Cooking, Camping & Backpacking

From what I read the ratio is 7 lbs or more fresh for 1 lb of dry. So a medium large tomato fresh of 7 ounce size would be equal to 1 ounce or about 28 grams of dried tomato. Therefore this 16 ounces jar of tomatoes is equal to 16 fresh raw tomatoes. The cost of the fresh tomatoes retail that goes into this product costing $35 for 1 lb jar then is 7 tomatoes x approx $2 per lb for fresh equals $14. So for the same equivalent of fresh tomatoes this cost over 2x what you pay for the fresh. Is that fair? Well, consider that the fancy reusable jar cost about $1.50 bulk plus label and and consider the extra labor and energy to prepare the tomatoes, sort and cut and package into a box which also costs money, and it is a fair price but a lot more expensive than a quality fresh tomato. If you are out camping though or just like the flavor it is not really expensive for a convenient light weight food item. And a tomato has a lot of healthy fiber and vitamins etc. Verdict is these are good product for the money IMHO.

I love these tomato flakes. So many times I need just a hint of tomato in something. These have great flavor & so convenient.

These tomato flakes are awesome ! Works with soups pasta sauces I even used in my sourdough bread ! Worth it saves space in my pantry also. Taste like fresh tomatoes!

I've used im several dishes. Once they encounter moisture they are soft

This item is rather expensive but I have been using it as an ingredient twice a week for the last 6 months and I'm almost halfway done. It is it is incredibly pungent and powerful by volume, using a pinch in a creamy sauce to add some tomatoey sweet meaty flavors? Great. Did you use two pinches? Enjoy your tomato sauce.

I think these are great for soup and and salad wants to hydrated. I would buy them again. They are kind of expensive though.

I thought they were pretty tasteless, but that was my mistake when I put them in a little bit of water and microwave them they puffed up had a nice texture and plenty of flavor

I purchased dehydrated tomato flakes to use in case the predicted tomato shortage does occur. Because I haven't opened up the container, I can't comment on flavor. It has a use by date of August 2026 so I can wait before opening up the inner seal. Contents are bright red as depicted on Amazon. Having a source of tomatoes on hand is worth the price to me. Based on other products from Its Delish that I've purchased, I feel confident that these tomato flakes will also be excellent. Gave it 5 stars because of secure packaging, only ingredient is tomato, & large enough quantity (1 lb. dehydrated) to be able to get multiple uses out of it. I am pleased with my purchase.
