BIONA ORGANIC Chopped Peeled Tomatoes 400g

Bring the authentic, sun-drenched taste of Italy to your cooking with Biona Organic Chopped Tomatoes. These premium tomatoes are grown on sustainable organic farms and left to ripen naturally on the vine under the intense Italian sun. Once they reach peak sweetness, they are peeled, chopped, and marinated in a rich, natural tomato juice. Packed in BPA-free tins, these tomatoes are the ultimate "clean" kitchen essential—free from added salt, sugar, and even citric acid.

Product Details & Benefits

• Vine-Ripened Sweetness: Because these tomatoes are harvested only when fully mature, they possess a deep, natural sweetness that eliminates the need for added sugar.
• Citric Acid Free: Unlike many tinned tomatoes, Biona preserves theirs without citric acid, resulting in a smoother, less metallic flavour that is gentler on the stomach.
• Antioxidant Rich: A fantastic source of Lycopene, as well as Vitamins A and C, which are essential for supporting immune health and skin vitality.
• Sustainable Farming: Sourced from farms that prioritise soil health and biodiversity, ensuring a product that is as good for the planet as it is for you.
• BPA-Free Lining: The tins are lined with a BPA-free coating to ensure the organic integrity and pure flavour of the tomatoes remain untainted.

How to Enjoy

• Classic Pasta Base: Simmer with a little extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and fresh basil for a simple yet sophisticated Pomodoro sauce.
• Slow-Cooked Stews: The perfect foundation for a rich Chilli Non Carne, Ratatouille, or a hearty vegetable Minestrone.
• Homemade Pizza: Use straight from the tin (or slightly blitzed) as a fresh, vibrant base for sourdough pizzas.
• Breakfast Shakshuka: Poach eggs (or silken tofu) in a spiced tomato and pepper base for a nutritious, warming brunch.

Expert Tip: Because these tomatoes have no added salt or citric acid, the flavour is incredibly pure. To mimic the "restaurant-style" depth of an Italian ragù, try simmering them uncovered on a very low heat for at least 20–30 minutes. This reduces the natural tomato juice and concentrates the sugars, creating a thick, velvety sauce without the need for thickening agents!
