Tomato Juice

Tomato juice is a pressed or extracted juice from fresh tomatoes, sometimes produced from concentrate. It has a bold, slightly tangy and refreshing flavour with a natural sweetness. In the kitchen it serves as a base for soups, sauces and braised dishes. It is also popular as a standalone drink served chilled, sometimes seasoned with salt, pepper or Tabasco. It is one of the key ingredients in the classic Bloody Mary cocktail. Thanks to its high content of lycopene, vitamin C and antioxidants, it is considered very beneficial for health. It also works well in meat marinades or as a base for shakshuka.
