What the AI looks for in Canned & Jarred Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- Oil-packed vs dry
- Oil-packed are ready to use; dry-packed keep longer and must be rehydrated This decides convenience and how you will use them.
- Oil type
- Check whether it is olive oil or a blend with sunflower or canola Blends taste flatter, and the oil is useful for cooking.
- Cut
- Julienne for mixing into dishes; halves for antipasti The cut determines how much prep you need.
- Texture
- Pliable, not leathery; refrigerate after opening and keep the tomatoes under the oil Leathery tomatoes stay tough in dishes.
Brands that matter

What to avoid
