I like using canned tomatoes, especially when fresh tomatoes are not in season. Nowadays, people assume they can get fresh tomatoes year round. In fact, fresh tomato season is only from July to August in the United States. Outside of the fresh tomato season, it is better to use canned tomatoes, which are tastier and also have good nutrition.
