Tips to Can Tomatoes:

1. Check Labels: Look for BPA-free cans; opt for "San Marzano" for richer flavor in sauces and stews.

2. Store Properly: Transfer unused portions to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

3. Versatility: Use diced tomatoes for quick sauces; crushed for thickening, and whole tomatoes for pasta or stews.

4. Enhance Flavor: Add a pinch of sugar to balance acidity and fresh herbs like basil or oregano for depth.

5. Cooking Methods: Simmer canned tomatoes for richer taste or use them in marinades for meats and fish.

6. Health Benefits: Rich in lycopene, canned tomatoes offer antioxidants; choose low-sodium options for a healthier choice.
