Canned tomato

Homemade canned tomatoes are a convenience food across the former Soviet Union.

Canned tomatoes, or tinned tomatoes, are tomatoes, usually peeled, that are sealed into a can after having been processed by heat.^[1]

Economic aspects

Industrially produced canned tomatoes are internationally a staple product^[2] and subject to regular market analysis^[3] as well as trade considerations.^[4][5]

Home preservation

Home canned tomatoes may be prepared in a number of ways.^[6] However, safety measures need to be taken, since improperly canned tomatoes can cause botulism poisoning, whether produced industrially or at home.^[7]

To ensure safe acidity in whole, crushed, or juiced tomatoes, add two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes.
