Meet Ellie Krieger, RD! Ellie is our Tomato Wellness Registered Dietitian for #Movember 2021, and she is excited to share some of her favorite delicious recipes starring tomato products.

Ellie says: “As a culinary dietitian I am all about helping people find what I call “the sweet spot” where flavor and nutrition meet, and there is no ingredient that hits the spot better than tomatoes and tomato products. They dish up big flavor—rich in umami, with a mouthwatering balance of sweetness and acidity—and big health benefits–packed with lycopene, fiber, potassium, vitamin C and more. My kitchen is stocked with an array of canned tomato products at all times to use as a base for sauces, stews, soups, sheet pan dinners, side dishes, and more. Tomatoes are one of the ingredients I love most of all!”
