Mezzetta Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes Sulfite Free, 8 oz Jar

This seems to be the only brand that does not use added sulfites in their oil packed sun dried tomatoes. The sulfites keep the tomatoes looking pretty and red, sure, but who needs added chemicals! This product has NO chemicals. Bonus, this product comes packed in olive oil and not soybean or other oil that might or might not be good for you. No matter what one may think about oils, the general consensus is that olive oil is good for you. We have flirted with using dry packed sun dried tomatoes, even organic ones, but they are usually super salty (that's how they are preserved in absence of oil). We love this product. Thank you!

I love sun dried tomatoes in an alfredo shrimp recipe I make. It makes me feel like a real chef to add them for some reason. The tomatoes are in an oil and I just blot them with a paper towel before adding them to the alfredo, they hold their shape when cooking and add a nice color. The taste is not strong, and the texture adds a little something firmer to a soft dish. Store in refrigerator after opening. They do not have a strong strange smell and are easy to use right out of the jar.
