My chef friend is arguing with me and IMO she is just straight up fucking wrong. Cooking tomatoes to death during the canning process isn’t going to do any favors for the texture or flavor. Every canned diced tomato i’ve had has been gross (and the dice is always too big and ugly)

I think she’s 100% confusing a comparison between QUALITY canned tomatoes i.e. real san marzano tomatoes versus shitty greenhouse grown tomatoes but she’s insisting that no actually canned tomatoes are just better

I just want to get a consensus but i’m going to continue to disagree with anyone else who is wrong about this

    I bought a 12 case of Pomi tomatoes in cartons off Amazon. 12 cartons for ~$40.

    I get my groceries delivered but I never use Instacart. I use my local supermarket and their produce can be pretty bad. The tomatoes are always tasteless trash. I’ll have a look at this thread but Pomi is really good and I assume canned stuff simply isn’t.
