Crushed Tomatoes

Crushed Tomatoes
(Crushed Tomatoes) Crushed tomatoes are usually found in 28-oz. cans.  Most contain added salt and citric acid (to preserve color), some have sweet basil added, and others add thick tomato puree. The added ingredients can change the nutrient content listed in the nutritional chart.  The only places that we've seen salt free crushed tomatoes is in health food stores, specialty super markets, and from co-ops. We use crushed tomatoes in sauces, soups, stews, and in some curry recipes.  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
