Benefits of using Canned Tomato

I highly recommend that you used canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes, preferably those from San Marzano. Fresh tomatoes usually take a while to break down and the one you get at the supermarket are usually not ripe. They need to pick it a few days before so that they can transport it to the supermarket. Canned tomatoes are picked when ripe and then canned. You are getting a superior tomato flavor in canned tomato.
