Density 93 · +0 vs Vegetables medianTomato powder concentrates the fruit into a shelf-stable form that scores 93 of 100, an Elite band ranking 29th of 60 vegetables. Drying boosts vitamin C to 130% DV per 100 g, vitamin A to 96% DV, vitamin E to 81% DV and fiber to 59% DV, well beyond what fresh tomatoes deliver by weight.
It is used as a flavor and color booster in sauces, soups, spice rubs and homemade ketchup, reconstituted with water or stirred straight into a simmering pot. The same drying process that concentrates nutrients also concentrates natural sugar, to 43.9 g per 100 g, so it tends to be used by the spoonful rather than as a bulk ingredient.
