What's the difference between tomatoe paste and tomatoe puree?


Answers:
Tomato paste is condensed and contains less liquid. Tomato puree is just pureed tomatoes that have not been reduced to paste.

I don't know I've only herd of a tomatoe paste.

paste is highly concentrated puree

Paste is thick and concentrated. Puree is runny.

Tomato paste is much thicker. It has been boiled down to make it more concentrated.

Paste is probably thicker than puree

Tomato paste is tomato's that have been concentrated down (helps thicken sauces) and tomato puree is just what it says it is.

tomato (no e)

paste is thick and you would use it for thick sauces like chili...puree is for sauces that are thinner, like what you put on top of spaghetti. all covered with cheeeeeeeese...i lost my pooorr meeatbaaaaalllllll, when somebody sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeezed. :-)

paste is thicker than puree

none. paste (Italian) = puree (French). They have the same meanings. Paste and puree are synonyms, their origin is different

Tomato paste is kind of like a frozen juice concentrate. It is really thick and used to thicken recipes or you add water to it to thin it down. Puree is kind of like tomato sauce but may have "pulp" in it. Hope this is helpful.

Tomatoes are fruits masquerading as a useful vegetable.
They can be cooked down into a liquid form, which to some degree will then contain tomato bits no matter how carefully you cut them up. This is called tomato "sauce" or can be whole tomatoes in sauce or even water.

Tomato puree is cooked tomato that has been blended smooth to eliminate the bits and provide a liquid tomato form to chefs and cooks.

Tomato paste is the other sort of tomato sauce, the one with the bits, boiled down and cooked down to thicken it--so it needs water or other liquid as an additive to be eaten successfully; it is used to add concentrated tomato flavor to dishes, frequently in Europe with a little flour, etc.
