Ingredient Spotlight
Sun-Dried Tomato Powder (Turkey, Aegean Coast)
Our Sun-Dried Tomato Powder is crafted from a unique tomato variety grown along Turkey’s Aegean coastline.
Sourcing & Process
Grown by smallholder farmers
Harvested at peak ripeness
Washed, halved, and laid out on wide sheets
Naturally sun-dried, losing up to 95% of their weight
This slow drying process concentrates flavor naturally—no shortcuts, no artificial enhancement.
Flavor Profile
Unlike typical sweet tomatoes, these are intentionally more tangy and savory.
Why?
Sweeter tomatoes create a sticky, clumpy powder. This variety produces a clean, free-flowing texture with a bold umami kick—perfect for finishing dishes.
Why It Matters
Naturally rich in umami
No additives or anti-caking agents
Pure, concentrated tomato flavor
