Chopped tomatoes cartons

[SunnyGirl]

Ive got the brill AK book, but skinning, deseeding and chopping a million tomatoes is a right faff - is it OK to use the cartons of chopped tomatoes?

 

[Rachaellius]

I use them. Agree it takes an age to peel and de seed the stupid things. If it's just plain chopped tomatoes I don't see the problem I just add ny own mixed herbs x

Check the salt content as passage has more salt than big standard tins. Why I. Earth dies she tell you to make your own?

 

[SunnyGirl]

If memory serves, the salt is 'trace'. I'm too tired to go and check - that's so sad!!
LO and I have the cold at the mo, so totally shattered.

My post made no sense! Sorry I was out!

What I meant is passata (stupid predictive text) has more salt than normal tins

 

[Rachaellius]

I've just looked on a carton I had in the cupboard and it says trace, obviously other brands may be different (was sainsbury's own)
Hope you and LO are better soon Sunny! x

Pinky - don't worry, I knew what you meant!

Rachaellius - aw thanks! FX we're looking at feeling much better tomorrow after a good sleep!

Just noticed AK uses canned toms in some later recipes.
I'm sure it's fine, but I might call my HV (who's used to my bonkers Qs) and check!

I use organic ones as they dont have salt and citric acid in.them (sainsburys brand)
No way i am peeling and de seeding tomatoes!

Knopk@ - do the organic ones have even less salt, etc.? If so, that's totally my solution. Such a performance peeling and deseeding. Surely, seeds are good roughage? I sound like my mum hehe!

 

[knopk@]

I dont think they have any salt hun, i.cheched for those things. Esp didnt want citric acid

What does citric acid do? So much to look out for, isn't there?

 

[knopk@]

Citric acid preserves things but of course i dont want him to eat it .
Organic ones come in tins btw.
I dont buy everything organic for him but i always read list of ingredients esp because he has dairy intolerance
