It has been said that tomato red is the color of summer and well-being, a positive energy that accumulates when ripening in the Mediterranean sun, to burst with energy in terms of texture and flavor in a dish. No other food seems to bring such comfort and reassurance as the tomato, all the while doing you good. And when fresh tomatoes are not available, such as in winter, a good can of preserved tomatoes fits the bill for quality and genuineness and a must to have on hand in your kitchen!
