I use these tomatoes to make homemade sauce & they are a great substitute for fresh tomatoes. There are no skins or seeds, just pure crushed tomatoes to make a delicious sauce for pasta. I also use this with chicken breasts, mixing the crushed tomatoes with a can of diced tomatoes, chopped peppers & mushrooms & pouring it over the chicken & baking. Then I melt parmesan cheese over the top- delish! Muir Glen is a good company that doesn't use Calcium Chloride, & their cans are BPA free.
