One thing that living in Canada has taught me \u2014 you can never go wrong with a well stocked pantry at anytime of the year. Most of the time, I try to get hold of fresh ingredients. But, while a well stocked pantry goes without saying for the long winter months, if you don\u2019t live close to amenities, then it is a definite life saver during the warmer months too. Of the many items that go into my pantry staples list, canned tomatoes are undoubtedly among the first. Tomatoes are the soul of so many dishes \u2014 from the Mauritian rougaille<\/a> to the daube<\/a> and not forgetting our Mauritian-style macaroni<\/a> and curries<\/a>, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Tomatoes are one of the highest pesticide sprayed vegetables in the world. Hence organic tomatoes, apart from their superior taste, are my preferred choice for their higher nutritional value. But not all canned organic tomatoes are created equal. So, when it comes to tomatoes and especially canned ones, I am rather diligent. Moving from brand to brand, I have tried almost all that I could find on the shelves and online. I recently came across a range of canned tomatoes from Muir Glen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After I ordered a couple of cans online<\/a> in the Fire Roasted Diced<\/a> and Basil Crushed Tomatoes<\/a> varieties, both Kevin and I were hooked. The tomatoes from other brands that we have tried can be rather pasty. Moreover, a lot of brands pre-cook their tomatoes to more than what I consider ideal.<\/p>\n

The Muir Glen ones are smooth with a nice robust flavour. They are treated just to the right amount; you really can tell from their gorgeous bright and fresh taste. For Kevin, these tomatoes brought back memories of the garden-grown tomatoes that he used to enjoy when he was a kid. They are even suitable for salsa recipes where you would usually use fresh tomatoes.<\/p>\n

So, when Muir Glen asked us if we would like to review their products, we were more than happy. The pantry was already stocked with a few tins of their tomatoes; we have been using them for a few months now and haven\u2019t felt the need to try out another brand.<\/p>\n
