There is something to be said about simplicity in food and this product certainly defines that. I personally do not spend the majority of my time looking for organic products, reading labels to confirm a lack of gluten, or rinsing cans for evidence of BPA. I'm an adult. I don't have that kind of time to spend worrying about miniscule details of the food I eat nor, quite frankly, should I have to. I simply do my best to find food and products that aren't overtly unhealthy for me, are of a quality that justifies their price, and - perhaps most importantly - taste good and are edible.
I've never been very impressed with canned goods. As a child, I ate so much of them that I'd lost my liking for them. Then, considering that I really didn't have the time or space to commit to a garden of my own yet wanting more than tomato puree to be part of my diet, I sifted through a few of the vendors and happily came across this offering from Muir Glen. I ordered a few cans of this product as a trial run. I tried the first can with a long standing recipe I created in college and I haven't looked back. Hunts simply can't compare to this quality or to the depth and less industrialized taste of this product as a whole. There's a quality of flavor that I really can't describe and the flavor profile is unbelievable, going with just about any main dish as either an ingredient or stand alone side dish. I'm not really sure if Muir Glen does anything to it or just manages to always find an outstanding tomato crop to can, but this one is always at the top of my shopping list. This brand isn't sold where I live, so Amazon can always expect an order with this on it from me.
