Tomato pouches

Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 39, Issue 5.

You may not have thought of a tomato as handbag staple but that's exactly what Merchant Gourmet has created with its ready to eat Mi-Cuit Tomato pouch. The slow roasted tomatoes, originally boxed and in a sealed bag, have been repackaged in a self-sealing pouch, which makes them fresher, fuller in flavour and much more convenient for reuse.

With all the flavour of a Sun Dried Tomato, without any of the oil, Merchant Gourmet's Mi-Cuit tomatoes make an ideal snack for those on the go. Clive Moxham, Sales & Marketing Director at Merchant Gourmet, said: “The Mi-Cuit tomato is one of our most popular products and has long been used as a ready-to-eat ingredient in salads, sandwiches and straight-to-plate recipes. “At only 113 calories per bag and with no added ingredients, it has also built a reputation amongst our health conscious customers who commend its intense flavour and ease of use.
