Sun-dried tomato is a tomato that has been dehydrated — traditionally in the sun — to concentrate its flavour and extend its shelf life. It is used in small quantities as a flavouring ingredient in pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches, antipasti and Mediterranean-style sauces, often rehydrated in water or packed in oil. Because most of the water has been removed, the nutritional values are highly concentrated: per 100 g, sun-dried tomatoes provide 258 kcal, 14.1 g of protein, 3 g of fat, 55.8 g of carbohydrates and 12.3 g of dietary fibre, with 37.6 g coming from sugars. They are notably rich in potassium at 3,427 mg per 100 g, and also supply 356 mg of phosphorus, 104.6 mg of choline and 68 mcg of folate. Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and Mediterranean dietary patterns.
