Good to know: Sun-dried Tomatoes
Let me tell you what happens when a tomato loses its water.
A fresh tomato is mostly water held inside a loose web of flesh and seeds. Pull that water out slowly, in the sun or in a low oven, and the web collapses on itself. Sugars and acids that were spread thin through all that liquid are suddenly concentrated in a fraction of the space. Watch the colour darken as it dries, and lean in — the smell turns deep and almost sweet. Many sun-dried tomatoes are also salted before drying, or packed in oil afterwards. That's why a sun-dried tomato tastes so much sharper, so much sweeter, than the fruit it came from.
Choose them by sight: a deep, rich red, wrinkled evenly, not cracked and brittle. Smell them — a good one still smells like tomato, only concentrated, not like dust. Press one between your fingers. It should bend, not snap.
Some people say sun-dried tomatoes are just a seasoning, a little pinch for flavour, nothing more. No! They carry real sweetness and real body, enough to anchor a sauce or a salad on their own. Treat them only as an afterthought, a token scatter on top, and you'll miss the punch of flavour they're built to give.
