Shelf-stable nightshade
Canned tomatoes are tomatoes preserved in sealed containers, typically with juice or puree.
They come whole, diced, crushed, or as paste, and form the backbone of countless sauces, soups, and stews.
Unlike fresh tomatoes, which vary seasonally, canned tomatoes offer consistent flavor year-round: The recipe calls for a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes.
