Canned tomatoes are amazing to have in your pantry, full of all the good nutrients and they’re versatile. You can use them to make tomato cream soup from scratch, or any other soup that might need tomatoes, marinara sauce for pizzas, or any type of red sauce for pasta. They have an incredible shelf life, and you can get them in a variety of sizes, depending on how much of a certain food you will make. Just make sure you read the labels carefully, so you do not end up buying the ones with added sugar.
If you think you should avoid them because of harmful BPA’s that can be found in canned goods, you should know that the dangers of BPA have been exaggerated (much how the MSG craze was a few years back) and that at this point in time, worrying about BPA has become irrelevant. By U.S.A. law, any canned tomatoes made in the United States needs to make their packaging BPA-free or otherwise they cannot sell them. So, you are safe, and you get to enjoy the richness they can bring to your dishes.
