This is post written as a follow up to the 5 Ways To Use Classic Tomato Powder. I realized that this subject can seem a bit daunting or confusing, so I hope to clear it up and getting you excited about using this wonderful product.
Tomato
Powder can be used to
replace tomato sauce, paste, or juice in recipes. It is a very useful
item to have in the kitchen for immediate use or to keep in your long term
storage. This powder has a strong clear tomato taste.
When it's used straight from the can it tastes similar to sun dried
tomatoes. Remember, it's just as acidic as regular tomatoes, which
makes since, because just by reading the label you will see that tomato
is the only ingredient used.
After
using this powder in your regular recipes, you might actually realize that it
tastes better than regular tomatoes and has a fresher taste overall. This
will enhance your recipes and have your family asking for more! You may want to
use sugar, salt, and/or baking soda to enhance the flavor for your
individual tastes, because the powder does not contain these ingredients.
You can't say that for the store bought canned tomato varieties. They're
usually loaded with preservatives in order to preserve them for a few
years. Thrive Life Tomato Powder can last up to 25
years if left untouched and still maintain the vibrant color and flavor, as if
you opened it new. I don't think the canned tomato companies can say
that!
So, substitute Thrive
Life Tomato Powder in any dish that calls for tomato paste or sauce.
It's perfect for stews, soups, Italian sauces, casseroles or pasta. Easily
create homemade spaghetti sauce or put together a steaming soup with tomato
powder. Thrive Life Tomato powder can be rehydrated with a ratio of 1 part
powder to 4 parts water, though this ratio can be altered to reach desired
consistency for various recipes.
Preparation Instructions:
Mix Thrive Life Tomato Powder into water, until smooth, to create tomato paste, sauce, or juice using the ratios stated below.
Ratio Powder Water Yield
1:2 ½ c. + 1 c. = 1 ½ c. paste
1:4 ½ c. + 2 c. = 2 ½ c. sauce
1:6 ¼ c. + 1 ½ c. = 1 ¾ c. juice
