SUN DRIED TOMATOES

タイトルまたは説明

During the year we do contracts with our sweet tomatoes growers in region where the best quality fresh tomatoes produce sand to assure that they plant the very best tomatoes for sun drying.Our tomatoes are hand picked at the peak of their maturity,only the ideal tomatoes are picked off their vine during the first pass.They are transported to the plant with special care.Each load is inspected by our Quality Assurence Departmant and must pass strict guidelines set by our company policy to assure that the fresh tomatoes we dry are the highest quality.After passing inspection they go directly to the plant for processing to avoid losing any of their flovor or colour. When the tomatoes arrive to drying place which a huge area cover with white cloth they are cut in half with high speed blades by hand on there and are laid out,cut side up to allow full exposure to the sun and the sulphur dioxide and salt spray on them,as it evaporates it creates a natural barrier to rodents,birds and insects.Over a period of five to six days the rays of the sun dry the tomatoes. When the tomatoes have been sun dried to their optimum moisture,the tomatoes are taken to our factory where the tomatoes are sorted agian for any undesirables.After the sorting the tomatoes are placed in bags for storage.Until the sun dried tomatoes are processed and packed for shipment they are kept in ou cold store to maintain their colour and flavor.During the year,when the orders are received the tomatoes are washed and subjected to a final inspection by skilled sorters who have been trained to remove unacceptable halves and foreign matter and then they vacumm packed for the shipment. The sun dried tomatoes may also be treated with only salt rather than sulphur dioixide,this calls SUN DRIED TOMATOES WITH SALT.
