Peeled tomatoes are tomatoes that have been peeled to remove their skin. They are often used in cooking and pastry recipes to add flavor and color to the dishes. Peeled tomatoes can be homemade by peeling fresh tomatoes, or they can be purchased all prepared in boxes or jars. They are often available in a fresh or canned version, depending on the time of the year and the region. Peeled tomatoes are often used in sauces, soups, marinades and vegetable dishes, and can be added to a variety of recipes to add flavor and color. They can also be used to season meats, fish and pasta dishes, or to replace whole tomatoes in certain recipes.
