Best tomato paste in Nigeria
Why choose our homemade tomato paste?
Naijahfresh homemade tomato paste has a deep, mellow, caramelized flavor quite unlike the acidity of store-bought tomato paste. It makes a world of difference when you add our premium tomato paste to your favorite dishes.
There is one thing you should keep in mind: While any tomato can be used to make a tomato paste, the kind of tomato you pick will make a difference in your final yield.
We ONLY use plum, fresh, and ripe UTC tomatoes because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
Fresh high-grade tomatoes
Naijahfresh tomato paste begins its journey with crisp, firm Roma or UTC fresh tomatoes. They are the best because they are meaty and have fewer seeds. We understand that our final product depends on how we started.
Slow cooking to caramelize it
Every tomato paste is caramelized. This means that they are all cooked/baked to reduce water. The method used here matters a lot. We employ the use of slow cooking that result in it, going from a bright red to a deeper, browner brick red with an intense flavor.
Add tatashe and shombo to amplify it
The introduction of red bell peppers and cayenne peppers is primarily to enhance the flavor and amplify the nutrient base of the taste. With their many health benefits ranging from managing weight, relieving pain, and treating colds and congestion, our tomato paste got it all.
Our homemade tomato paste is an entirely different paste, more delicious and the best than the kind you can buy at the supermarket.
The grocery versions are rarely anything special — just containers of dense, smooth tomato concentrate.
When you make it yourself, you get to choose the tomatoes you use, and thus the flavor of the finished concentrate. Slow cooking also gives the paste a hearty, rich flavor, unlike the store-bought counterpart.
