Canned tomato

[Anonymous No.16121211]

Is that a meme?

>Ingredients: San Marzano Whole Peeled Tomatoes , San Marzano Puree, Basil Leaf, Naturally Derived Citric Acid, Salt

They all add citric acid on canned tomatoes, which renders them tart. Tarter than some grocery store tomatoes.

I only use canned tomatoes for cooking since you can’t get good fresh ones in this sunless hellscape of Northern Europe.

a tablespoon of sugar balances it out if theyre too tart

some batches are more acidic than others, taste and adjust as you cook

Yeah, but isn't the whole point of getting canned tomatoes that they are picked when ripe, and thus more sweet?

The only two advantages I see on them are color and conveniency.

theres sugar in tomato sauce anyway, just a slightly different kind
>>16121294
you have to work with what you have. adding a bit of sugar to canned tomatoes can get you the best tasting sauce in the middle of winter for instance.
if youve got high quality fresh tomatoes during the growing season, by all means use those.
supermarket tomatoes in the off season are not good. theyre not overly tart, they just dont taste like much of anything. canned, even if theyre slightly acidic, is still a much better option. especially if youre willing to add a little sweetener
you can even get sweetness from a different source; simmering an orange peel or grating in a carrot, for instance

I use canned tomatoes for pretty much any sauce. I use San Marzanos if I'm making tomato sauce. The flavor is much richer and more "tomato"-ey than the shitty flavorless canned tomatoes from my grocery.

In terms of fresh tomatoes, you can't get good ones at the grocery. Need to be properly ripened heirlooms at a farmer's market.

tomatoes are picked from the plant and immediately canned at the perfect stage of ripeness.

Adding a pinch of sugar (just the tip of a tablespoon, you're not actually going to taste it) to cut the acidity of tomatoes is a classic "rimedio della nonna". it's an tip also mentioned in many Italian cooking books or websites.
Also, you don't make soffritto for a simple tomato sauce, it's not ragù. you start sautéing some onion, shallot or garlic. carrots and celery make the sauce taste like minestrone.

Tomato sauce isn’t supposed to be sweet.
