It can be hard to find a tomato sauce in the supermarket that is suitable for the candida diet. Most tomato sauce contains preservatives such as salt, calcium chloride and citric acid. Preservatives are something that those on the Candida Diet strive to avoid as many of them inadvertently contribute to the overgrowth of candida. Tomato sauce however is such a versatile ingredient and makes it’s way into many recipes. I have used tomato sauce in a variety of recipes ranging from Indian to Italian cuisine. It seems as if at least weekly I am finding a new way to use tomato sauce.
I guess I could make my own tomato sauce but I tried peeling a tomato once and it just did not go well. I stopped half way through and said “the hell with this.” I figured I would just do without. I really want to avoid ever peeling a tomato again and that is why I am so thankful that I found Pomi Strained Tomatoes. I use this product anywhere that tomato sauce is required. Pomi Strained Tomatoes contain no preservatives of any kind. It is 100% natural with the only ingredient being tomatoes. You can’t ask for much more than that. This product is completely yeast free and should be used freely on the candida diet.
