Density 87 · -6 vs Vegetables median

Dehydration concentrates everything in a tomato, both nutrients and sugars, and sun-dried tomatoes score 87 of 100, a Strong result ranking 38 of 60 in Vegetables. Potassium leads at 73% DV, with iron close behind at 51% DV.

They're typically packed in oil or rehydrated for pasta, salads, and tapenades, with a cup serving used as the reference amount. The honest caveat is sugar, which concentrates right along with everything else to 37.6 g per 100 g, so portion size matters more here than with fresh tomatoes; for a lower-sugar option in the same category, parsnips or eggplant are worth a look.
