Not all tomatoes are the same when it comes to preparing canned food. For an optimal result:
Choose fleshy varieties like Roma or San Marzano, rich in pulp and poor in water.
Make sure they are ripe, with smooth skin and a uniform colour. A good indicator? The stem easily detaches from the fruit.
Buy them in season: summer is still the best time to enjoy tasteful and inexpensive tomatoes.
Tip: If you buy them from your early weather, let them mature for a few more days before using them for an even more intense taste
