So, what is de pâte de tomate?
"De pâte de tomate" is a French culinary term that translates to "tomato paste" in English. This concentrated ingredient is made by cooking tomatoes until they break down into a thick, smooth paste, which is then strained to remove any seeds or skins. It has a deep red color and a rich, umami flavor that adds depth and complexity to a wide variety of dishes, including soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. Due to its concentrated nature, a little bit goes a long way, making it an economical and convenient ingredient to keep on hand in any pantry.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
