We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Some will argue that tomatoes make some of the best toppings out there. Whether you’re slicing a whole tomato to put on a sandwich, cutting up baby tomatoes to put in a salad, or topping a pasta dish with tomato sauce, there are many ways to get your fill of tomatoes. Tomato paste is another method of adding the fresh, juicy flavor of tomato to a meal in a smoother, more sauce-like form. Tomato paste is essentially tomatoes that have been cooked down until they’re in paste form. They have had all of the skin and seeds removed before being condensed.
Tomato paste can often be found in chili, ketchup, and many other homemade recipes that you might come across on cooking recipe websites. You might be used to seeing it at grocery stores in a squeezable tube or can, but you also might find tomato paste in a jar as well. There’s no denying that any food or condiment that comes in a glass jar, like fruit jams or pickles, feels a lot fancier than squeezing it out of a tube or scooping it out of a metal can. Tomato paste is no exception to this, and buying a jar of it can make you feel almost like a professional cook. This list will consist of 9 different jarred tomato pastes and rank them from worst to best.

When thinking of healthy foods, such as a protein shake or fruit bowl, tomatoes — unless put in a salad or smoothie — aren’t typically the first food that comes to mind when you want a light, healthy meal. Though we don’t suggest going on a diet solely of ketchup-covered hot dogs or hamburgers, when used right, tomatoes are a vitamin-filled fruit that’s pretty healthy to include in your diet. Many of those health benefits carry over or become more obvious once put into paste form (per LiveStrong). What’s better is if the fruit is produced in a healthy, environmentally friendly manner, such as this next tomato paste.
Dr. Mercola Solspring Biodynamic Organic Tomato Paste is a tomato product that is made utilizing holistic regenerative farming practices with a focus on sustainability. The tomato paste was a fairly good product, if not a little more watery than your average paste, but compared to the gritty and moldy pastes that come before this, we’ll let that slide. Other than that, though, this climate-friendly tomato paste is flavorful and great for your next spaghetti or rigatoni dish.

Lots of foods and condiments have a long list of various ingredients in them, many of which some people may have not heard of before or can’t read as easily as “flour” or “spice.” While in most cases, the ingredients either make a food taste really good or help preserve it, other times, there’s no need to overcomplicate things with a bunch of added salts, sugars, and everything in between. This next product proves that you only really need one thing to make a good tomato paste. Tamek Tomato Paste is an incredibly flavorful, rich, and delicious paste that is made with a single, fresh ingredient: tomatoes.
The ingredient list may be short and simple, but this allows the tomato paste to really shine and have a pure, fresh tomato taste that reminds us of picking fresh tomatoes from a garden. The paste itself comes in a 24-ounce jar, is double concentrated, and contains no additives. Though this product may succumb to mold and expire faster, as it doesn’t have any preservatives to slow down the process, it was one of the better pastes we tried. We highly recommend it to any tomato lovers looking for a good tomato paste to add to their recipes.
