Introduction
Selected from naturally sun-ripened red tomatoes grown in the open fields of Xinjiang's Gobi Desert, this pure tomato paste is made by peeling and deseeding fresh tomatoes, then low-temperature vacuum-concentrating them. Free from sucrose, vinegar, and artificial preservatives, it differs from table condiments and serves as a professional-grade concentrated tomato base for restaurants and food manufacturing facilities. Seven to ten pounds of fresh tomatoes are condensed into one pound of paste—deep red with a glossy sheen, smooth and thick in texture, offering a balanced natural sweetness and acidity with rich, authentic tomato aroma. High in lycopene, it is a universally used foundational ingredient in Chinese, Western, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines worldwide.
