About the Product

Guru Foods Tomato Flakes are prepared from tomatoes that are processed and dried to reduce moisture while retaining their characteristic tomato flavour, colour and identity.

Fresh tomatoes require washing, cutting and comparatively careful storage. Tomato Flakes provide a convenient dried alternative for applications where easy handling, portion control and dry ingredient storage are important.

The flakes can be added directly to soups, sauces, gravies and other moisture-rich preparations, where they absorb liquid during cooking.

Where visible, softer tomato pieces are desired, the flakes can be separately rehydrated before use.

Their dried format also makes them particularly useful in instant premixes, seasoning systems and ready-to-cook formulations.

Ingredient

Dried Tomato

The final ingredient declaration must always correspond with the actual product formulation and approved packaging.

If the commercial product contains any permitted anti-caking agent, preservative, processing aid or other ingredient, it should be declared where applicable according to the actual specification and regulatory requirements.

How to Use

1. Take the required quantity of Guru Foods Tomato Flakes.
2. Add directly to soups, sauces, gravies or other moisture-rich preparations.
3. Allow sufficient cooking or standing time for the flakes to absorb moisture and soften.
4. For dry seasoning or premix applications, blend evenly with the other ingredients.
5. Where softer and more visible tomato pieces are required, rehydrate before adding.
6. Adjust the quantity according to the desired tomato flavour and visual appearance.

Rehydration Method

For applications requiring softer tomato pieces:

1. Take the required quantity of Tomato Flakes.
2. Place them in a clean container.
3. Add sufficient clean warm water to cover the flakes.
4. Allow them to soak until adequately softened.
5. Drain excess water, if required.
6. Use promptly in the desired recipe.

The exact rehydration ratio and time can vary according to the flake size, drying method and final application.

For soups, sauces and gravies, separate rehydration is generally unnecessary because the flakes can hydrate during cooking.

Important Information

Tomato is a natural agricultural ingredient, so colour, flake size, flavour intensity and appearance may vary slightly between batches.

The term Tomato Flakes should be used when the product contains visible dried tomato pieces. If the material is finely milled, Tomato Powder may be a more appropriate product name.

For best results, protect the flakes from air, heat, light and moisture after opening.

The actual ingredient declaration, particle size, nutritional information, shelf life, allergen/cross-contact information, storage conditions and statutory information displayed on the website should always match the information printed on the approved product packaging.
