Naturally grown and sun-dried tomatoes retain most of their vitamins and minerals. They are the perfect complement to many dishes and add a bright flavour to salads. Drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with herbs and you have all-natural sun-dried tomatoes in oil without preservatives!
Sun-dried tomatoes usually spend 4-10 days in the sun and lose about 90% of their weight, so 8-18 kg of tomatoes are needed to produce 1 kg of sun-dried tomatoes. On the other hand, most of the weight lost is water, so tomatoes retain their nutritional value.
