I’d love to know what you think.ĭisclosure: Red Gold sent me the product cutting kit. Have you ever tried Red Gold tomatoes? The next time you open a can, take a bite before adding them to your recipe. Both of these add to the quality of the tomatoes. Red Gold is Non GMO certified and uses a Non-BPA Liner for their cans. I was very surprised at the difference between the brands. I could easily eat a plate of these by themselves. Tomatoes should taste garden fresh without any off notes. The more tomato flavor, the higher the score. I was pretty surprised by how badly they tasted. It’s bright and not far off from a fresh picked tomato. The flavor of Red Gold tomatoes is very good. Notice the appearance, then taste for flavor. For this rating, a tomato from each can is cut in half. The final two ratings on the score sheet are for flavor. Red Gold’s media looked good, but it is a bit thinner and lighter than Hunt’s. Our products are sold in all channels of food distribution throughout the world We produce 23 different product categories, 389 different combos of flavors and cuts, and pack 44 different containers and sizes. Hunt’s media was very thick and red, almost like tomato sauce. Red Gold has grown to become the largest privately held manufacturer of full-line tomato products in the United States. This is the only indicator that Hunt’s may have edged out Red Gold. The better the color and consistency, the higher the score. Another had a significant amount of peel. On of the Hunt’s tomatoes still had most of the peel on it. Red Gold earned 5, because I saw no peel or seeds. ![]() The less peel and seeds, the higher the score. Amount of Peel and Seeds Present in Sample The more firm the tomatoes look, the higher the score. It was hard to tell if the Hunt’s tomatoes were uniform in size, because many of them were squished or in pieces. The less variation in size, the higher the score. I gave both Red Gold and Hunt’s a score of 4 on this. The brighter the hue of red, the higher the score. Each is rated on a scale of five, with 1 being poor and 5 being extraordinary. On the Red Gold score sheet, there are five different ratings for appearance. There were a few whole tomatoes, but many were squished.Ībove is a side-by-side photo so you can see the differences. The media (juice) looked thick and red though. I couldn’t see any whole tomatoes at the top of the can. This is exactly what it looked like when I opened it. There was one tomato that was much smaller than the others, but overall they were uniform in size. All the tomatoes were whole and looked very good. I poured the Red Gold tomatoes into the provided pan. The media (juice) looked red and I noticed a good tomato scent. Four nice looking, whole tomatoes were near the top. The photo above is exactly as it was when I opened it. The first thing I did was open the Red Gold can. ![]() I took a bunch of photos so you can see the difference. Red Gold sent me a product cutting kit to test their whole, peeled tomatoes against Hunt’s brand. I have a whole drawer in my pantry dedicated to various tomato products.īut somehow, I’d never given much thought to the differences in quality of those products. Canned tomatoes are a staple ingredient for me, and for most of you too. ![]()
