Some days you just don’t feel like chopping. Recently, I feel like all I do is chop the entire day. I am always busy chopping this or that for recipe after recipe and there are times when I just don’t want to chop another thing. Until recently I would always chop fresh tomatoes if I needed them for a recipe. I use chopped tomatoes often for things like ratatouille, fixins for tacos or to make salsa. I would get caught without fresh tomatoes often and become frustrated. I usually did not feel like running to the store in the middle of the dinner rush and would have to switch gears. I yearned for the convenience of using canned chopped tomatoes but I was having a hard time finding a brand that did not contain any preservatives and therefore would be safe for the candida diet. Calcium chloride, salt and citric acid are the most prevalent preservatives in canned tomatoes that are prohibited on the candida diet.
I was fortunate enough to find Pomi Chopped Tomatoes in the supermarket one day. The only ingredient in these tomatoes is tomatoes and I am so happy to have this as an option now. I am able to throw together the recipes that require chopped tomatoes almost effortlessly. Additionally, I do not have to worry about my tomatoes going bad or running out of them. I just keep a couple of boxes of Pomi Chopped Tomatoes in the cabinet and I am covered. If you have been looking for yeast free chopped tomatoes I urge you to give these a try.
I have just recently found your blog, and it is a godsend. Thank you so much! I recently discovered that I feel WORLDS better by cutting out sugar and yeast out of my diet, but went to the grocery store, and just felt completely lost. Everything I bought before is off limits. Then I found your site. You uplifted me on Wednesday when I found it. Thursday I went to Harry’s Whole Foods Market to buy all the stuff for a few of the recipes on this page. However, I couldn’t find Pomi. Do you know where I can find this product? I live in the Southeast.
Thanks again, you rock!

Hi Tianna,I am so glad that you found some inspiration from my blog. It is really hard cutting out sugar and yeast so I am glad that you found some help in my posts to help you make the transition.
I have seen Pomi at my local Whole Foods but I first bought them from Shoprite. I have also bought them from Stop & Shop. I am not sure if either of these stores are common in the Southeast but I really hope this helps. They should be in the canned tomato isle. If you cannot find them you can order them online in a case of 12 from Amazon Pomi Italian, Chopped, 26-Ounce (Pack of 12). I realize this may be too many tomatoes to start so I hope that you can find them in the supermarket. Good luck Tianna!
Best,
Tennille
Thanks again

Be well,
