What to consider before buying

When choosing crushed tomatoes, consider the intended use: for Italian dishes, San Marzano varieties offer superior flavor; for everyday cooking, Hunt's or Red Pack provide good value. Organic options like Muir Glen are great for health-conscious cooks. Pay attention to texture - some brands are chunkier than others - and check for added salt or herbs if you prefer to season yourself. Price per ounce varies, but bulk cans often save money.
