Hunt’s San Marzano Style tomatoes are steam-peeled and all-natural, prepared without GMOs

Hunt’s, a brand of Conagra Brands is bringing the sweet flavor of a prized tomato variety home with the introduction of new San Marzano Style tomatoes. Available in three flavors, new Hunt’s San Marzano Style tomatoes are the perfect starter for your homemade pasta sauces and Italian dishes. With consumers showing a preference for making pasta sauces from scratch using whole tomatoes, Hunt’s San Marzano Style bring delicious, all-natural flavor from the tomato fields of sunny California.

Whole tomatoes are the ingredient of choice when preparing pasta sauce. Recent research found that 60% of home cooks do not buy jarred pasta sauces because they prefer to make their own sauces at home using whole tomatoes. Consumers cite a desire for a pasta sauce that’s thick, not watery and runny, while seeking a simple list of ingredients.

When creating a delicious pasta sauce at home, there’s no tomato quite like San Marzano. San Marzano tomatoes have a firm pulp and thick topping juice that helps create a thick, flavorful pasta sauce. With a distinct pear-shape, they’re also sweeter and less acidic than other tomatoes; no sugar needs to be added to create a flavorful homemade pasta sauce.

Hunt’s San Marzano Style tomatoes are steam-peeled and all-natural, prepared without GMOs. Hunt’s San Marzano Style are available in three different flavors. The Original flavor offers classic tomato taste. For a touch of herbs, there’s Basil, Garlic and Olive Oil. And to add a spicy kick to your dish, try Crushed Red Pepper & Garlic.
