What is the differece between canned sauce and canned puree?

Post by Thomas
Have both, Furmano cans, each 28 oz.
I use the sauce for my pizza. I can wait to buy more sauce but is there a difference?
I know...try it and tell us. Ok. 09.08 pm. Back soon.
Will still be hoping for the answer

Puree would be much more thick, for other cooking/recipes.. If you are
using one or the other, I would use the regular canned sauce for pizza.

Thank Michael. I use sauce not puree. I said it wrong. Anyway I just opened the puree and it seems fine but a tad bitter.
Added my usual sugar, salt, onion powder and a McK blend of italian herbs. No cook. I let it be in a container untill the next day. Tastes pretty good.
I use whatever cheeses I have. Last night was sauce with grated mozz whole milk, american slices ripped, and grated havaratti sp. The hava was a good add.

I suspect sauce can have of all sorts of other ingredients and maybe
not even the ingredient itself: lobster sauce and pasta sauce come
immediately to mind.

Tomatoes and tomato products were overly defined back in the. What
grade tomatoes do you buy at the grocery store? Are they misshapen?
Are you tomato shaming?

The most common grade I see in the stores isn't defined here.

It's called USDA Sucks.

Google. I was waiting for that. Why ask in a food group when I can google it.
I google porn and it suggests rfc.

If I had a can of Furmano tomato sauce on my shelf, I'd look at the ingredients
for you. Given that I've never heard of that brand, I suggested a Google search.

Typically, tomato puree is squished up tomatoes. Tomato sauce has additional
flavorings added, depending on the manufacturer.

I don't have Fermano specifically right now. Cento, Dellarossa, HT
store and I think the other was tuttarosa? Only odd item had calcium
as part of the name. 2 of the 4 had it. ?Calcium sorbitate? (Sorry,
hubby in bed and don't want to wake him by moving about). The rest only
had tomatoes, or added tomato juice, or 'less than 2% salt'.

Tomato sauce contains seasoning/spice. Puree is pretty much a pure
tomato product... some brands sell puree/crushed, two different names
for the same thing. I buy Hunts crushed, made from unpeeled tomatoes
with some salt and citric acid added; less than 2%.
Read the labels to know the difference.

For pizza I use whole peeled tomatoes, broken up by hand squeezing and
may add some tomato paste to thicken.

Ridiculous. They make a tomato sauce. It tastes like shit (how do they
achieve that, rotten tomatoes?), so out comes the "Natural Flavor".

Another crap product. "Natural Flavors." What's wrong with the flavor

Thanks Ed and all. The puree is much better for my use. I guess I lucked out when the store ran out of sauce.

No Sheldon. Crushed and Puree are not the same thing. Open a can of
both and LOOK at it. Hunts BTW is the worst brand on the market.

Let's leave salt as a "de gustibus" item (since it's the more salt, the better, for me)
and consider the additives:

Sauce:
TOMATO PUREE (WATER, TOMATO PASTE), WATER, LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, CITRIC ACID, ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, RED PEPPER

Puree:
Ingredients Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Salt, Citric Acid.

Paste:
Ingredients Tomato Paste, Citric Acid

Have you ever canned tomatoes? I always added citric acid to ensure
a safe can.

No, I do not can them. I get ones with nothing but tomatoes and water
though some have citric acid. That or I freeze fresh from my garden
and make sauce of them.
