Do You Know?
Canned tomatoes are available in several different forms. The traditional forms are whole peeled tomatoes (packed in juice or puree); ground (sometimes referred to as "kitchen-ready", and not to be confused with puree, which is similar but more cooked); crushed tomatoes, made by adding the ground tomatoes to a heavy medium made from tomato paste; diced tomatoes, which are chunkier. In recent years, the Petite Diced form have become the fastest growing segment of canned tomatoes.
