diced tomatoes

Cut-up salad ingredient

Diced tomatoes are tomatoes that have been cut into small cubes, typically sold canned for use in cooking.

They hold their shape better than crushed or puréed tomatoes, making them suitable for dishes where visible tomato pieces are desired: Add a can of diced tomatoes to the chili.

Fire-roasted and seasoned varieties are common.
