Good to know

  • A cup of canned tomatoes (240 g) has about 38 calories and 4.6 g of fiber.
  • Canned tomatoes usually contain added salt: this entry has 115 mg of sodium per 100 g, against 5 mg for raw tomatoes. No-salt-added cans are a separate product; check the label.
  • Cooked-down tomato products are denser. Per 100 g: canned tomatoes 16 calories, tomato sauce 24, purée 38, and paste 82. Pick the entry that matches the can.
  • A 14.5-oz can (411 g) has about 66 calories, so a can of tomatoes adds little to a pot of soup, chili, or sauce.
