Secret Ingredients

I love the wide assortment of tomato products put out by the Dei Fratelli family. Their secret ingredient? Family of course! Now we all know that tomatoes are good for you but why? Tomatoes contain a large amount of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium and iron. Tomatoes also contain a pigment called lycopene. Lycopene works in the body as an antioxidant an helps you age more gracefully and preliminary studies have shown it may even help prevent cancer. Now back to the good stuff- Dei Fratelli’s family recipes are simple and naturally gluten-free. They have a wide variety of tomato products for you to choose from like various chopped, diced and spiced- salsas, pasta sauces, tomato paste even vegetable juices! Each yummy product made begins with premium tomatoes fresh from the vine. So whether you are making pasta, a Mexican dish, chili or tons of other recipes (there are more on their website) reach for Dei Fratelli’s and you will not be disappointed.
