Picked at the peak of ripeness, vine-ripened tomatoes are dried slowly in the warm sun for seven to ten days and cooled in the evenings. Partial re-hydration occurs by this slow sun-drying process, producing sweet full-bodied dried red tomatoes. As the moisture evaporates, the flavor intensifies.
It has an excellent source of vitamin A and vitamin C and are low in calories, cholesterol-free, contain potassium, folate and provide dietary fiber.
