Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Some skin and bts

I use the chopped variety of Tesco Value Tinned Tomatoes all of the time. They also do a normal variety as well but I always use the chopped version as they are great when I'm making sauce for pasta or to give an extra bit of flavour to Shepherds Pie.

They come in a four hundred gram tin and cost about twenty two pence a can in my local Tesco. I do not like chopped tomatoes on their own so it is a bit hard to review the actual taste as I only use them in other dishes where the taste gets masked however they certainly give Shepherds Pie a bit of a fruity tange to it as well as a bit of colour.

The ony slight criticism I have is that there is a bit of skin sometimes in the can and some of the stringy core of the tomato however as they are so cheap you know you will have to compromise a bit on quality.

The can is sixty percent tomatoes with the other ingredients being tomato juice and citric acid. They are very low in fat and a 200g serving has 34 calories to them and only trace salt so they are pretty healthy.

Summary: Good cheap tinned tomatoes.
