Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract (Tomato Extract)

Solanum lycopersicum

You say tomato, I say tomato, we all read tomato … and we’re still none the wiser. 

Tomatoes are a member of the infamous nightshade family, which groups many a vegetable basket favorite, including potato, pepper and eggplant. And at risk of starting an argument … tomatoes are technically classified as a fruit and a berry, not a vegetable. With thousands of varieties, tomatoes come in all shapes, colors and sizes, though they are, of course, most famous for their vivid red.

How is tomato extract made?

We make tomato extract in-house, using fresh whole tomatoes. We soak tomatoes in hot water and either strain to create a light infusion or boil until half of the water has evaporated, leaving a more concentrated decoction.
