Inspite of everything happening to Nigeria, I shall rise again;
I will take up my pencil which I have forsaken in great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawings.

I've been seeing the dried tomatoes in the markets recently, never used it before. I was told that if you soak the tomatoes in water properly before grinding, it's almost as good as fresh ones just that it darkens stew a bit.


True, it does.

With the recent scarcity of tomato, after going up and down without getting good fresh tomatoes to buy, one of the tomato sellers told me to buy dried ones which she now sells.

I want to know, has anyone tried using d dried tomato? How does it taste? How is it prepared? Is there any difference in colour, taste etc with the fresh one?

Your contributions are highly welcomed. Thank you.

I got wind of it about two weeks ago and I tried it out, made sense and a lot cheaper. I simply added 200 naira worth of fresh tomato to it and a sachet of tomato paste and I made enough stew for the week.

it's difficult to dry tomatoes and in the process of drying healthy nutrients are greatly denatured. Dry pepper will be OK with tomato paste, not the other way

It's very weird! Never knew there was anything like dried tomatoes until this whole scarcity ish. Not sure I'll ever feel comfortable using that stuff to cook, though. Will just use the tin pureed ones instead!

It is healthier than the tin one. If you care for your health, avoid the tin one. Instead when you see cheap Fresh tomatoes buy them and dry them and pack in airtight container. They are 100% better than the tin puree one.
We plan to dry tomatoes and pack them for plan family use in off season.

Not true, you can dry it naturally in a room with good ventilation and away from direct sunlight. Use tomato with less juice and cut into chunks. Spread on a rack and allow to dry

Tomatoes price would soon come down. Farmers are now kings - a good lesson for all.

If I get them dried myself, fine. That makes more sense. But the ones I usually see just look funny and inedible.

I used dried pepper and sachet tomatoes for stew ..

This is the problem with Nigerians. Instead of keeping the dried tomatoes for planting season, we are using them to cook. Can't we plan for the future? There are other alternatives. What happened to fresh pepper, onions and tomato pastes?

My comment was removed and the person whose comment insulted all Nigerians, the comment was left alone.

The mod of this section needs to be ashamed.
